Re: [FWDLK] 57 DODGE Hot Start Issue(s)

    Have you checked the choke position prior to shutting it off? Is it opening as it should as the engine warms up and not snapping shut on the restart? I would suspect fuel mixture to be the problem on a hot restart, try holding the throttle to the floor while restarting to clear a flooded condition, don't pump the gas when restarting, try restarting without touching the throttle after shutting it down to see if it will go right back to the idle condition it just stopped from. Try to resist blipping the throttle before shutting the key off. I did have a Cordoba that had a bad coil so that could be the problem, but bad coils are not common.

Hi gang. I've got a quandry.

 

57 Dodge, 325 auto. Starts great cold, horrible hot, or doesn't. I mean immediately after shutting it down, it won't restart. Usually has to set awhile. OK, it is getting gas, I've shut the choke,  opened it, etc. Could the coil be the issue? Seems like it's good for one good cold start, then you're done for awhile.

 

Today, pulled it out of the garage to wash it, started great, warmed it up, but not to operating temp, shut it off, and tried to restart. No go.

 

Thoughts?
