Hi folks,

My friend who has an 85 wasserboxer has this=20 problem any suggestions??

Thanks for the tip.

JUST TO PICK YOUR BRAIN!!!

The symptoms are:

1. Starts fine cold or cool. Will not restart after it gets warmed up.

2. EATS gas like it's free.

Note;

Hot Restart procedure:

A: Crank it for 15 to 20 secs.

B: Pull two or three fuel injector control plug wires

C: CRANK IT TILL IT FIRES THEN=20

IT WILL RUN ON ONE OR TWO CYL

D: Prop window squeegee between seat and gas pedal.

E: Run to the back and plug in fuel injectors

F Fiddle with throttle till squeegee falls off gas pedal.

MOST IMPORTANT !!!

G: Drive away smoothly and try not to notice the snickering crowd.
