Still having problems...Well I had the carbs off set them to specs and still having problems...It starts 2 pulls every time if it sits for a day..But if you shut it off after warm up, an leave it sit anywhere from 5min. to 2 hours it takes sometimes 20-30 pulls to start again.http://ipodnanogenerations.com/ipod/index.jpg.I tried every trick.choke no choke,1-3 primes with and without choke, no throttle 1/4,1/2, 3/4 full throttle. No choke and no throttle at all, but still impossible to start after warm up.
It is a 1988 500FC cougar. it works great when started, top and bottom end no hesitation anywhere.Did't always do this..New plugs
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Have you checked the stator out. They get weaker when they are hot and they do not generate much current when just pulling the engine over as compared to running. Blaine has a good youtube vidio explaining how to go about testing them.
