Cold Start fine ,warm start not so good.

Post by Spoonz1980 »

Hi all. I'm hoping somebody can shed some light on this problem. My 2 litter air cooled starts fine from cold but after a couple of hours driving if I switch it off and then try to start it warm an hour or so later it finds it very difficult to catch. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas why before I start throwing parts at her
Thanks Andy

Looks like the primary winding on the ignition coil was breaking down when hot incase anyone was wondering. Happy days now it's changed.
