I bought a Rupes Bigfoot as well. I was pretty happy with it, but I have only used it for about half an hour. I need a lot more practice, but I should get that on the 911 and on the Z.

MFX Posted 10October, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 10October, 2018 This is just a quick video trying some of the suggested tests for my warm start issues. At this stage it is still not fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 10October, 2018 Report Share Posted 10October, 2018 Buy a new carb and put us out of misery!! It’s still learning- learning to take the best remaining approach. btw have you tested warm vs cold compression? Could it be something like that instead of carb mixing? Hard starting can be compression related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
