I have searched the archives and can't seem to come up with the "Muir" fix for problems starting when engine is hot. Symptoms, starts fine cold, when restarting after driving for an hour or so (hot but not overheated engine) the starter barely turnes over but it does catch-sounds like a dying battery but battery is new, alt. output checks OK. I understand that there is a known problem that fits this discription and possibley a "kit" to fix it. Any help would be appreciated. TIA Wendy & John Cape Cod, MA '85 Westy, "S-CAPE" LiMBO members |
