I dont know how to close threads, I will check out those connections Thanks . Why would you doubt a bad fuel pump caused hard starting? This motor would not start unless I sprayed some fuel into the cylinders. Then it would fire right up an run, I tried everything. ( checking lines and...
Thanks for the input. I know the plugs are the right ones and they are brand new and very clean, The engine does slow down somewhat after turning off the key . Could be carbon build up in the cylinders. or the heads. I just seafoamed it to clean it out, Didn't make any difference that I can...
