Or try my pet hate.. The Cold Start Injector.... (Disconnect the electrical plug, then try)...

They've got a nasty habit of flooding the old girls in 'Temperate' climates.

Item 2....

Sympathetically take it out..... Run the old girl for a few months with it missing... See how it goes....


Then (back to the Temperate climate thing).... Wonder the logic of it ever being there...

..............


That said....

If you ever go to Germany/Race Circuit/Isle of Man etc and get the exhaust manifold cherry red, leave it idling for a few minutes before shutdown, as the manifolds will vaporise the injector fuel supply without the cooling (after-run) fan....
