Good Afternoon
I need some help/advice on my engine cold start situation.
Last summer I put in Dick Pattersons ignition system, once warmed up, my coach
runs incredible.
The problem is that when I start the engine cold, it is hard to start and runs
like absolute garbage. It's hard to start, floods easy and tough to keep
running until it warms up.
Once I can get it to run without keeping my foot on the gas a a very high RPM,
it will run on it's own but extremely rough.
Then all of a sudden, it smooths out and idles perfect.
I talked at length with Dick and he feels it's a definite fuel problem, I've
tried many adjustments on the electric choke without it making much difference.
One thing is the fast idle doesn't seem to be working either, but I don't feel
that's the problem by itself.
I drove the coach down to Topeka Graphics on Saturday, once warmed up it purrs
and runs smooth as glass, the whole trip was great. When I stopped to take a
break, the only way I could get it restarted was to keep the pedal floored and
then it would take about 30 seconds to get it started and then another 30
seconds to clears out the flooded gas.
Before the ignition change there were no problems starting it at all, but I know
the ignition is great because once warm, it's never run better.
Any ideas, when I pick the coach up in 6+ weeks, this will be the first thing
on my list to tackle.
Thanks for the help.
