Thank you for the suggestion. when you say engine heat, do you mean from cranking the starter? When it's warm it starts perfectly; just trying to make sure I understand.

[quote title=k2gkk wrote on Sun, 06 August 2017 21:25]If the coach sitss for awhile, engine heat MAY cause fuel in the carb float bowl to evaporate. If that is the case here, I stab the accel pedal several time to force feed some fuel into the carb throat with the accelerator pump. THEN push pedal to floor SLOWLY to set the choke's fast idle setting and MAYBE this will solve your problem.
