Greetings Gents,

Found this forum and since this is my first post, maybe somebody had a similar problem. This motor has run like a charm. However, it has developed a new erratic feature which I am trying to diagnose. Would appreciate any help.


I can get it started pretty good. After it warms up it would die even after it would idle for 5 to10 minutes. Sometimes, it would sputter with a few plumes of smoke coming out and get back to normal idle. Even at higher speeds, it would be not stall but occasionally it would have that studder then too.

I thinking ignition but it could also be fuel?

Always hard to diagnose intermittent situations. Mighty obliged with any help.

One or the other! You'll have to test and see which. Try a WOT plug check to find out.
