Re: Hard starting



smash,
i had the same prob with a previous rocco. was running too rich. would not
want to start and idled too high once it did. idle speed adjust screw seemed
to do nothing (wouldnt go lower than 1400rpm). fixed it by adjusting the nut
down the hole between the fuel distributor and air flow sensor plate (the
one you have to drill out the first time you try to use it).
hope that helps
