jonost24 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 So it's nothing to do with MS, it runs ok until you switch it off. Then won't start until you're down to ~50deg. The temp might be coincidence. Something is expanding, running ok while switched on, turn off, cools down, releases something then allows you to start. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..................just thinking out loud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonost24 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Fuel pipe ok when under pressure with the pump working. Something heats up, squashes the fuel pipe, but under pressure it's ok. Turn engine off, no pressure, squashes fuel line no start.Cools down, releases fuel pipe, fuel flows, engine runs. Answer - re-route fuel line. That's not a question Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
