We have been averaging 98-102 for day time high's. My Gasser used to start up without a pump or choke no matter what the outside air temp with the first kick of the starter. Now, since I started driving it on the road and getting real hot underhood temps, it won't start back up after a run.
Cold starts, well cold engine starts in this weather, happen just like before with no problems. Once I run it a mile or so and turn it off for at least 30 seconds. It will just crank and crank without starting. Pulling the hand throttle all the way out and leaving it that way for at least 3 minutes, turning on the ingnition and cranking for about 10 seconds normally gets me a sputer. Wait a few more minutes with the throttle open and another 10 second starter turn will give me a big blue smoke cloud and a running engine. I don't like this.
I even lowered the float some last night before taking it for a drive with no help. The heat riser valve in the intake is down which both by visual inspection and according to the manual is off.
The TM9-8022 says to pull the throttle out 1/4 of its travel when hot starting. This doesn't help any. I haven't tried doing this as soon as I shut it down yet though.
Any suggestions or ideas?
Thanks.
