I went out with a friend yesterday and both of us were scratching our heads that his motor takes so long to fire up. He must crank it on and off for several minutes before finally firing. He shuts off the motor and it starts right up.<br /><br />He told me that a mechanic stated its a hard starting motor since its not fuel injection, I told my friend not to talk to that mechanic anymore since he doesn't know his arse from a hole in the ground.<br /><br />Anyways, I thought maybe his timing is off, but wanted to research the issue first before going to mess around with the timing. <br /><br />Any suggestions on what maybe the cause of his hard starting?
