    when the gas converters are cold the build up of gunk is hard and stops the valves inside closing once vacuum pulls them open - flooding results.

     

    you can confirm this by pouring hot water over the converter when cold morning and if it starts fine, it will need cleaning.

     

    later in the day the warm weather makes the gunk soft enough to let the valves move..

     

    is it a Landi converter, they are common for this issue. but the easiest to clean out also..

     

    Thanks dean, i think you are spot on!

    Checked the spark and thats all fine and someone suggested that the converter might be bad and and flooding it with gas (which i didnt think was possible ) so i disconnected the primer from the starter motor power so it doesn't prime and after a bit of turning over it started up! Since i have reconnected the primer power wure to the starter and it starts first kick evertime??? Really weird maybe i need to put a kit through the converter.

    Ill wait and see what happens

    Hey guys just a quick question to throw out there. I have an xf ute on straigh gas ans this morning it wouldn't start, turned over no worries, plenty of gas just wouldnt kick. So i fiqured its the coil or maybe dizzy and left it. Got home from work and it fired up first kick like always.

    Any thoughts on why??

    It rained a lot last night and i figured maybe something got wet? Or is the coil on its way out?

    Any suggestions?

    Yeah i think a compression test is the first thing i need to do, i got the engine out of a ute i didnt know a lot about and then it sat there for 12 months. So i will do that first and if its okay take it forr a decent drive as you say Greg and then look at catch cans

    And the exhaust hose and oil seperater.

    Thanks for the info guys ill let you know.

    Any other ideas throw em out there

    Hey guys, just need some help with a problem im having. I just got my car on the road and it is a 250 crossflow with efi manifold and gas research throttle body.

    The problem im having is a smoke coming out or the rocker cover breather hose and slight fumes coming out of the dipstick. I have put a new pcv valve in and checked it, but its still happening. I thought maybe the rings are no good, but it blows no smoke out the exhaust at all and the car runs great.

    Any ideas why smoke is coming out of the breather instead of sucking in clean air?
