Hi,
I'm new in this forum. I live in Gemrany and owning an AH 3000 III Phase 2 for almost one year. I'm 62 years old. When I was 18 back in '71 I tried to find an adaquate 3000 which unfortunately didn't work. So back then I decided for a TR 5 PI which all in all was not a bad decision. But since then I couldn't get the AH 3000 out of my head. Now, it finally worked.
Here is my my question.
When the car has been parked for a few days and I try to start the engine it takes about 5 to 6 attempts befor I can even realize a first ignition. After a few more attempts the engine finally starts. By the way, the starter is a brandnew modern Heavy Duty Gear Reduction Starter, which does a fantastic job. When I crank the warm engine, it starts immediately. When the car has been parked only for one day, it needs only one or two attempts before it starts.
So, the longer the engine hasn't been run, the longer it takes to start it. Everything else, like timing, valves an CO (3%) is OK. Even the fuel pump works poperly.
I think, the problem lies with the supply of fuel. Obviously it needs to much cycles of the engine before the gas/air mixtures reaches the combustion chamber. Does anybody has any idea what the problem could be?
