If the cracks in the rubber are significant then the effect would be the entry of unmetered air and a general leaning out of the fuel/air mixture. Most likely symptoms would be hard starting, particularly when cold, and higher operating temps. If the leaks were big enough, then no start. --------------------------------------------------------------- Tom Young '81 Vanagon Lafayette, CA 94549 '82 Westfalia --------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marc Perdue" <marcperdue@ADELPHIA.NET> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Friday, April 18, 2003 3:57 PM Subject: What symptoms from leaking AFM boot?
