Hello all,

as the topic may suggest im having starting issues in the fine spring mornings. she does eventually start, but after a good 5 minutes of turning it over (choke doesn't seem to make a difference).

i was told, that it is because its supercharged, the fuel has to travel uphill first, hence taking it a while to get going. but it used to start fine first time before i had electronic ignition fitted.

it seems to only have this problem when cold, or when its cold outside. will start first time mid day when the wheather has warmed up.

any suggestions as to what i could to to improve this?

Thanks

DanGT

Could be a timing. On the what have you played with last idea. Have a good look at the igniton system and check the timing and any advancing pipes etc.
