Well..., I replaced the temp head sensor, it was not expensive and my neighbors still on vacation so no ohmmeter today. An interesting note, the old sensor took a 24mm socket the new one was a 13mm. Now I have two problems, of course. The first one: it still won't start when its hot with the same symptoms as before. Which perfectly match the descriptions of the function of the temp sensor. i.e.- acts like it's flooded but I do not smell fuel. The second one: the oil pressure idiot light stays lit all the time now. Yes, I checked the oil, many times. The idiot light spooks me and I shut her down as soon as I saw it. Checked the oil. Started her again, still the light, let it run for a short period. Checked the oil. Started her again and let her warm up. Still the light. Anybody got any advice on how to start troubleshooting from here? Thanks, David Higginbotham 82 Westfalia Silk Hope, NC |
