Appolgies if i seem to be carpet bombing the forum with posts - I'm (I hope) at the steepest part of the learning curve with my 'Mog at the moment, 3 weeks into ownership. Rapidly knocking things down as sorted, but still some niggles to get to grips with.
The car starts on the nail from cold and runs perfectly .... However. If its left to stand for 20 mins once warmed up it takes a very long crank to get it to fire up.
It always goes, but it can be 10 seconds or more cranking before it fires.
I'm pretty sure this is down to vapour lock - is it a known "thing" ?. Does anyone have a fix ?.
I would be investigating further into the fuel supply line, it sounds to me as if a non return check valve has failed and is letting the fuel bleed back or evaporate before the high pressure system or even in the high pressure side - relay or valve failure is where I would be looking.
My Plus 8 will take an extra turnover if conditions are extremely hot such as we experienced recently and evaporation has taken over under the bonnet and this normally ties in with me needing 1 Ltr of water to drink..
