(Warm engine requires cranking several times doesn't start, then starts right up on second cranking attempt)Lots of good tips to help me narrow this down, I appreciate it guys. Looks like it's going to be a busy this weekend trouble shooting. I did start it a couple of time yesterday, starts right up when cold no issues, after it's warm same thing, have to crank it over several times then on second try starts right up, no back fires this time though. Took it for a short drive ran like a bat our of hell, no issues, to busy at work to do more with it until this weekend.
- Starts fine cold every time
- Runs great once started
- Warm engine requires cranking several times doesn't start, then starts right up on second cranking attempt
- At times back fires out of drivers side exhaust upon warm start up.
I have a long list of recommendations that'll I go down the list doing this weekend to see if I can resolve it without having to leave it with the strangers at a repair shop.
This is when you need to try the WOT(wide open throttle). If you hold your foot to the floor and crank it and it fires right up, then you know it's is being flooded.
If that changes nothing, then I would move on from the carb.
The one side backfire is odd.
As Wolverine said after he moved the ladies in the red dresses out of the way, put his stogy on the ashtry and sipped some scotch, maybe a valve is torqued improperly and not closing all they way.
Those should be no more then 22ft lbs, and you should be able to just spin the pushrod with your fingers after it's torqued down with both valves closed.
Let us know, we are all interested in the solution. Although, I'm sure you are more intersted in it then us!
