The zed doesnt wanna start. Before you ask yes its low on fuel, but once it stsarted it runs a dream, just takes forever to start. Now the car had a fuel leak last time we used it in the winter smelt like a service station, but i really cant see any leakage in the bay anywhere and it doesnt smell any more. Seems to have gone away. Now I know its more than likely to do with it being low on fuel but could is be something to do with that old leak haunting us?

maybe...maybe not...

Clarkey m8, does it fire when you try and start or does it jst crank over and over?

 

Also, doe sit start okay once it' s warm, i.e you've been out left it for 20mins and try and start it again?

well it just sits there cranking over and over. Every few seconds it will do some chugging an spluttering until after about 15 seconds of being lazy it fires up, runs like a dog for a second or two b4 the idle smooths out nicely.

 

As for the second question after 30 mins idle, turned it off to check oil level, started it up again and it went almost first go, much less hesistant to start than when cold.
