I just put my newly rebuilt engine in my '80 =
westy. I
had trouble getting it started.
I found that the wire to the temperature sensor was
broke. After I fixed that it took right off and I let it run about =
twenty
minutes.
Later, I went out and checked the oil before taking =
the van
for a test drive. It smelled like gas so I drained some out to see =
and I
definately have gas in my oil!
Is this a result of my earlier attempt to start the =
moter
(i.e. I flooded it) or could it be something more problematic? =
Could it be
simply change the oil and I'll be alright? I must have tried six =
or seven
times to start it up before I went searching for the cause. When I =
did
start it, it ran great (after the lifters quieted down in 2-3
minutes).
I don't have much knowledge of fuel injection =
systems and any
insight would be helpful.
THANK =
YOU,
Gary
'80 Westy
P.S. I tried the archives and kept getting a =
failure to
connect message (after about 10 minutes). Does any one else have a =
problem
searching the archives?
