Hi, new to the list but not to 914s. My problem is that whenever i try to restart the engine after a short stop, lets say a fuel fill-up, it just doesnt. It cranks, but does not fire. After a while, 5-10 minutes, it does. No problem on cold start, it fires right away. I suspect bad coil, misbehaves when hot. But once started, it runs fine. any clue? My set up: Blue coil, Permatune, Pressure regulator, webers on a 2.2E engine with S-cams. Thanks to all.

QUOTE(si2t3m @ Aug 26 2003, 05:53 AM) It didn't start b[ut] he smelled gas so what i wanted to say was that we are getting fuel & air... maybe too much gas... in addition to percolating the gas out of the float bowls (of course they -should- refill from the pump right away unless there is a lot of vapor in the fuel lines...) the big problem is that all that float-bowl gas runs right down into the engine. could be you smell gas because fumes from the flooded cylinders are coming back through the open throttle butterflies... anyway - it definitely could be ignition - i've had heat-sensitive CD boxes too - Permatune does -not- have the market cornered on this phenomonon ... |
