RonK Posted September 17, 2012 Share #1 Posted September 17, 2012 I'm noticing that, after shutting off engine for awhile(to run into the store for 10-20mins)AND if the engine temp gauge is reading well toward the hot side(Before Starting),the engine is difficult to start...acts as if it is either flooded or can't get enough fuel initially and slowly ramps up to normal operation. After it has time to cool down, it has no significant problems starting.... Ideas??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted September 18, 2012 Share #2 Posted September 18, 2012 Very common issue with our L-Jet systems. Search around here and other Z sites and you'll find lots of people with the same problem. Lots of band aid solutions too as well.As for whether it's rich or lean? The common belief is that it's running lean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Nelson Posted September 18, 2012 Share #3 Posted September 18, 2012 http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/thread46866.htmlThis is a fairly good thread on the topic, also search on "hard starting" and "hot restart" to find others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
