hey everyone,
been awhile since I've posted but i'm at a loss and need a starting point. my 58' TR3a runs absolutely perfect. fires right up (initially), runs perfectly... doesn't miss a beat. I have zero complaints with the way she's been running this year since my rebuild.
However... after she's warmed up she doesn't start very quickly at all if I shut her off. It takes many, many cranks to get her started back up and I just don't understand why. Sometimes (like lastnight) I'm afraid she isn't going to start at all.
Any ideas on where to begin searching for the problem? Originally I thought vapor lock... but i'm just not believing it. I've never had an issue with that before, ever. but i just don't know at this point. It sounds like maybe it's flooding her out but after poking around I just don't see anything leading to that.
Ideas/suggestions?? i should add that this ONLY happens after shes warmed up after use. no issues at all when starting the first time of the day or shes been sitting a while. very weird.
thanks so much! happy holidays to everyone reading...
