What does a heat soaked starter sound like?
If your starter easily cranks a cold engine, but “drags” or cranks very slowly when hot, there may be a “heat soak” problem. Before you condemn the starter as bad, you should perform a system diagnosis of the battery, cables and starter.
Why is my car hard to start after warm up?
Sometimes, a faulty fuel pump check valve may cause starting problems when the engine has been warmed up.Keep this in mind when your fuel pressure regulator or fuel pressure damper test OK, but there seems to be something wrong with system pressure. Also, check the throttle position sensor.
Why does my car not start in the winter?
Once it is running it stays running but after engine warms up, if I kill engine, then it won’t turn back over. Ran great last summer. Newer engine stored indoors over winter.
Why is my boat hard to start after warm up?
My theory is a leaky carb float valve (is that a carb or injection motor?) or maybe primer valve, just slightly flooding the engine. At home on the muffs, engine is much easier to start without backpressure on the exhaust. On the water, lifting the hi-idle lever advances the timing, let’s it start right up.
Why is my lawn mower engine not starting?
The engine won’t restart until the engine cools. The plastic housing can also collect dirt that will eventually lead to the engine shut off. So, solve the problem you have to clean the fins and plastic covers once it is cool. Some mower engines simply won’t start if the oil level is either low or high.
What makes a car start after a warm-up?
Pushing the key in opens the valve within the solenoid allowing fuel to pass thru it in order to prime and start the engine. Looking upon this solenoid as an electric choke results in a better understanding of it.
Why does my Briggs and Stratton engine not restart when it is warm?
If the carb is only overflowing when warm, its possible that the bowl vent on the carb is plugged and causing the carb to pressurize when warm. Does the engine even try to pop when its warm, or does it just crank and crank with no fire? I’ve seen engines that have carbon buildup in the cylinders that won’t restart warm.
