Subject:      Fuel in intake boot?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Dear List:
A problem I reported a few months back of my 82 Westfalia (Digifant ll inline
four) cutting out and stalling while driving was diagnosed by several members
as possibly being the ignition switch. Strangely the problem disappeared on
it's own.

Yet now, a new warm start symptom of hard starting and erratic idling after
warm up has developed. Several tests to find the cause, has led me to the
idle switch, which when tested shows some resistance when closed. I decided
to replace the switch.

So, upon removal of the intake boot I discovered gasoline in the intake boot,
and in the throttle body intake. Can you tell me what is happening here?
There are no external fuel leaks here, or leaking injector seals. Thanks for
any clues you may have.
