Re: Problem starting
Thank you all for your postings. I’m gonna try it again today using some of your suggestions (suppose to be another hot day). I too feel it’s a fuel delivery problem on hot days, as I don’t have this...

Re: Problem starting

Re: brake return spring ??
I used one also. Returned the pedal great, but I found that actually fixing the problem worked great as well. Replaced bushings in brake and clutch pedals, new brake rods and anti-rattlers....
