[DML] Re: Delorean hard to keep running when engine is cold



Hi Robert...

I am the person Toby spoke of.  While there are no rebuild kits 
available, there is some maintenance you can perform on the CPR to 
keep it healthy, or restore it.  I got some great information from 
the already published article on dmcnews.com by Dave Santos:

http://www.dmcnews.com/Techsection/controlpressreg.htm

If you are interested, I can send you some pictures of what I did to 
clean my CPR and get it working again.

Hope this is somewhat helpful.

Thanks!
Dave
