I've been starting at 4am for a few years now and I reckon the old girl still starts better than me!! I might just frighten her and change the oil and filter etc this weekend. It's been better the last few days so it may well heve just been a bad batch of fuel. Believe it or not, even I have been known to have a little miss and backfire after a bad batch of fuel...... Catch ya later Pete. sneezy. --Previous Message-- : G`day sneezy : : I`d say the problem is going to work : at that time of the morning , maybe : she`s getting old and likes to stay : in bed longer . : : I`d suggest you try staying in bed a : bit longer and see if she`s : receptive . : : Or i guess it could be an air leak : or the needle and seat may be : playing up but i`d check the oil : level in the dampers first . : : Diaphrams faults can cause and less : power and better economy : : Being that the morning air is : probably colder and thicker/moister : , don`t know . : : Could be a combination of taking her : to Sydney and back and waking her : too early and she`s got a bit of a : cold and she`s just letting you know : that she`s still the boss . : : Cheers , pete . : --Previous Message-- : Gidday guys, : : My carbie 83 3.5 has just started to : do something weirdish.
