A couple of years ago I described a starting problem I was having & got lots of good advice about how to cure it. I checked a lot of things, & changed my procedure for starting, and got good results most of the time. Still, from time to time the coach was very hard to start.

A while back, I read a discussion of where the ELECTRIC choke should be connected. That lit a light in my head & think I may have solved my trouble. SOMETIMES I level the coach in preparation to leaving before the coach is started. That means the choke heater has been on (maybe several minutes), as it comes on (I checked) in IGN and ACC key positions. If the campground is level, I just start up and go, not giving the heater time to pull the choke off.

Until I get the choke connected to the Alternator output, I'll just make sure I level the coach AFTER it is started!

Thanks to all in this community who give me good ideas, even though I may not acknowledge them all, John Shutzbaugh
