Re: Not so hot start problem



What do you mean by "adjusting the idle screws"? The 3 brass screws 
are supposed to be lightly closed period. Any other position means 
something either isn't set-up correctly or something is 
malfunctioning. If you have a hard hot start the most obvious places 
to start is the fuel accumulater and the fuel pump check valve. Make 
sure there are no vacuum leaks as that can affect idle quality.
