I am having trouble starting the engine on my 77 Bus after the engine is warmed up. It fires right up on the first turn when the engine is cold, but struggles to start when the engine gets hot.
I have a weak battery which I will be replacing very shortly and I am thinking it may just be with the engine hot the compression increases making it more difficult for that battery to turn the engine over as quickly. Although during the first cranking it seems to spin as fast as the first start.
But I am guessing it is probably more related to the carb and choking mechanism. Or maybe even the points, do points loose some continuity when they become hot?
In any case, it is on my list of things to look at. But before I started jumping in thought I would ask if anyone has any ideas. After all these VWs seem to have some common experiences or causes and if that is the case, to take advantage of past experience now. Thanks Chuck
