"My 2003 has taken to hard starting.After sitting for as little as 30min.,engine will roll about 1/4 turn,& "grunt"roll--like a low battery.Release decompressor,roll eng. a few turns,close decomp.-& eng. starts. Noted large amount of fuel(Not lube oil)from exhaust,plus lots of steam,for a minute.Eng. runs normally thereafter.Do I have a leaky injector dripping fuel into cyl.,when stopped?---OR other possibles?"

"Hi Len,
From your description injector dribble would would appear to be the problem,however it is possible for water to make its way into a cylinder giving the same symptom.Next time you run engine remove injecters 30 minutes after shut down.the faulty unit will be wet with fuel.If dry lay paper towel or similiar over injecter
hole and grank engine, water will show on towel,this would indicate either a cracked head,blown head gasket or a exhaust riser-joint problem.Decomp to start at test to safe.

Cheers, Shakey."
