[DMCForum] 5096 Hot-Start

[Samuel <samuel_yahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have finally solved my hot-start problem on #5096. Between a bad 
starter motor (became evident last weekend that it had issues compared 
to earilier), a major vacuum leak (resulting in not getting any gas when 
starting), and having 8 degrees for my timing instead of 13 all caused 
problems. I can finally drive it without it dying! ...  DOH! It's still 
in hover mode. Rims look nice though.

Question, is the start motor, with 20 years of use, suppose to look like 
this on the end?

My weekend consists of adjusting the timing a bit more (currently sits 
around 11 degrees at idle), and fix the major vacuum leak that is 
resulting in the air meter plate not moving much.
