My '35 F12 has a problem in that after I run it a little while I have to crank and crank her until she will finally restart. I can open petcock on fuel bowl and get gas out of her but still won't start easy. Mag has been redone. I hate going to a show and have to try to restart her and just stand there cranking like a fool. Friend has a 22-36 and no matter what he can give her a quick jerk with the choke on and then take it off and the next pull she'll take right off, I am difinately jealous....Help.
Thanks, Brian

Mine will do that exact same thing!What I usaully do now is let it run for a few seconds at about ahlr throttle them kill it.It seems to help some.Oh and I dont know if you do this but dont use the choke at all after it gets a little warm!Mine will flood even with just one pull after it gets warm.

Hmmmm. My F14 will take a few cranks if she's been sitting for a few days, but almost always starts on the first crank when she's warm. If she doesn't, it's usually because I mis-judged just how warm she was, and flooded her by using the choke when I shouldn'ta.

Has this problem developed recently, or has it always been that way? If it's always started hard when warm, then the usual tune-up considerations apply:

Magneto timing
Point Gap
Float Height
Carb Adjustments
Plugs

I've been lucky, my Champions haven't developed a fouling problem (yet), but lots and lots of folks on this board have dumped Champs in favor of Autolites, and been very pleased with the results. A range or two hotter than original recommended heat range is not a bad idea either, as we don't use the old girls long enough and hard enough to keep the plugs burned clean, plus today's lower octane gas is not as easily combustible as it once was, or at least so I hear...

Along tiime ago(early 40,s) Dads F12 would not start when it was warm. Started ok when it was cold. He fixed it by trading it for a TO-30 ferguson.
