Hi everyone, 85 Westfalia, automatic with Boston Bob 2.1 a few years back. When the motor's hot, and I turn off the ignition, it is hard to get it to restart (for example pulling in to get gas off the highway, then trying to get going). The motor turns over fast enough but won't catch. It will eventually, but not quickly. In the past I had hot starting issues and the motor would turn over very slowly. That was resolved with the hot start relay. I do find that it helps if I let the fuel pump run it's cycle (1 or 2 seconds?) before attempting to start. Any suggestions? ThanksJeff |
