I am just taking my 85 Westy out of storage and getting her ready for camping season and have a weird new problem that I can't figure out. She starts right up and runs fine for about 3 minutes, then stalls out and won't restart. She just keeps cranking, but doesn't even attempt to fire, like there is no fuel getting to the engine. I have confirmed that the fuel pump is running and that the fuel filter is not clogged. To make things even stranger, after sitting for an hour or so she will start right up again and then die 3 minutes later... I'm not sure where to begin looking for solutions, please help. Thanks in advance, Jay Brown '85 Westfalia '72 Riviera |
