Ok, I’m stumped.
From cold my engine fires right up and purrs like a kitten. It’ll idle and/or run for just long enough to get warmed up then bog down like it’s starved for fuel. I had a similar issue last year that ended up being the power pack, so assuming (like a dummy) I just got a bad pack that didn’t last I swapped it with another new one, but it didn’t clear it up. So from there I’ve checked compression which is good on all 6, I’ve checked fire on all 6 and it’s good. I also put the muffs on it to try to replicate the problem in the drive which was successful, and I still had good fire on all 6 (I thought it might be going into a limo/safety/whatever mode and killing some cylinders). This tells me it’s fuel. I have the vro oil system, but have had it disconnected and plugged off for years. Here’s where I’m stumped. Why would I be getting a fuel issue when it’s warm only? Carb bowls warping and making floats stick closed? Am I starting off looking at the right stuff?
