We would like to take some time to share with you some of the answers to the common questions we receive on our Technical Support hotline.
Question:
After driving my vehicle for a period of time, and after shutting off the engine I sometimes encounter a hard to start situation (engine cranks over several times before starting) and it usually occurs within a window of 15 minutes to one hour. What can I do to resolve this situation?
Answer:
Chances are you are experiencing heat soak, compounded by today’s blended fuels. Following are some things to keep in mind in an attempt to alleviate this situation.
Resolution:
If hood clearance permits (air-cleaner top to the underside of the hood) then consider installing a heat insulator gasket between the carburetor and the intake manifold. This will create an effective barrier between the hot intake and the carburetor. Here are a few tips when selecting a heat insulator spacer.
