Subject:      Hot starting problem
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"


Never solved this problem with my 84 Westie 1.9L (well now I assume it is
solved, with my newer motor).






Whenever the Van was running hot, or it was hot out, it would not start
until the motor cooled down for about 10 minutes.  However, it would ALWAYS
start with a pop of the clutch, hot or cold?!?






One time I was entering an African Jungle drive through safari near
Cleveland, and the thing stalled right at the entrance, I had to wait the 10
minutes, blocking everyone!






When I was reading about Geza's "Strange no-start problem", I wondered if he
tried a push-start?






Just wondered if anyone else ever had the "Hot Start" issue, and if so, how
did you fix it?
