hello peeps im just wondering if anybody can shed some light on why my s2 erst really takes a while to start from cold,turns over ok.but once its warmed up a bit it starts on half a turn,ive already checked the cold start valve(unplugged it and tried starting it) and that dont seem to make any difference,so whats the next step???

totally standard btw

cheers rick e

 

air leak.

 

cant hear any air leak anywhere rick?

 

like i say once its running its fine ticks over nicely,plenty of poke still there(even tho its still standard ),FOR NOW........

 

Once its running, does it miss like its flooded while cranking, or does it run ok?

What does it do with the cold start valve connected?

yeah its fine wen its running and has been warmed up ok but for example if i leave it overnight and come out to start it up for work it takes a good 5 to 6 cranks to get it to start,but like i say when its warmed up half a turn and its fine.idles fine also just the initial start up thats the problem
exactly the same with the cold start valve either plugged in or unplugged

HTH

Ahhhh, so were only talking a few seconds to start it? Mine doesnt start first click cold, you might be losing fuel pressure over night.

I wouldnt worry about it unless its excessive starting times?

 

yeah no more than about 10 seconds i suppose

 

Mines the same mate, from cold. Takes about that. When run starts first time.

 

it takes a bit of time on first start up, i think most of em are like that.

 

Mine probably takes about 4-5 seconds and misses the first couple of fires, starts first click everytime after that, until its been left for a day or more

 

well mine starts on half a turn

The mixture is probably bolloxed, and ur metering flap porb isn't depressing...

 

And your probably just a smug git

 

Theres always one isnt there

mines exactly the same...takes about 5-6 seconds to start but got to rev it otherwise the revs drop and it cuts out. but then it'll be fine for the rest of the day

 

(touch wood) mine has always (since I've owned it) started near enough as soon as the key is turned.

 

Kiss that goodbye now then
