Argh!


Wouldn't you know - after selling off Volksiebus, Ol'Red decides to go
on the fritz - again!! Left me stranded in the Grocery Store parking lot.


After coming out of the store, attempted to start and it was no go.
Grind, Grind, Grind went the starter. I got out, did a distributor wire
check - no spark. Waited a few, tried again. lots of spark. Put it
together, tried to start - grind, grind, grind - no start. not even a spit.


Engine was hot, and the fuel pump would run, so I decided two wait a
bit, then try again. I walked to some local stores and an hour later
came back. Vroom, Vrooom! it fired right up,


This is a puzzle. Any suggestions as to where I might start looking for
a fault?? Seems heat related.


Thanks..


John
