88 Vert-Restart Issue

[88sunlover]

Seems that restarting after a cruise is an issue with my vert.

It takes about 5 minutes of red face to actually get it to turn over, and then it is hesitating for a good 5-10 minutes once it runs...

Any ideas? Is it one of the following:

1. sign that my engine is giving up the ghost (about to die)?
2. need of a fuel cut off switch?
3. time to start thinking about upgrading to a turbo?or a new 13B rebuild?


Thanks!

Ck'd your vac line? when was the last time you've replaced them? If it hasn't been done, it should.

How many miles do you have on your engine? Do you see any smoke coming out?

Lastly, if you're thinking of slapping on the cut-off switch to prevent it from flodding...you're going about the wrong way. If there's fuel seepage, your injector needs some TLC and correct that problem.

Hope things turns out OK!

Any more questions, feel free
