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(914_6conv @ Aug 26 2003, 07:19 AM) Im the thread starter. Well guys, so much attention flattens me..... ...So maybe the time i kicked the tires (sigh), it cooled down! ... i once saw white smoke coming out off the first cylinder, between the manifolds and the carbs bodies! 2) replace permatune - always thought that they werent acting intermitently! my /6 isn't running, it gives me a vicarious sense of satisfaction if i can help someone else's ... Permatune would have you believe there is no such thing as an intermittent failure, but they'd also have you believe there is no such thing as a Permatune failure, and both are patently false. the steam/smoke is reinforcing my belief there's a fuel percolation issue; do you have the float bowl vent mod done ? if the issue is percolation and too-rich mixture, multiple fat sparks from a MSD *might* help get the fire lit even if the Permatune is working to spec (hey, it could happen ...) |
