Vanagonites,
        The other weekend my wife and I drove from Phoenix to Flagstaff for
some camping. Well it's about a 6000 foot elevation gain in around 3 hours
and all went fine albeit a little slow. Anyway, the next morning apparently
the bus wouldn't start and it took rolling it down a hill to finally get it
going. Unfortunately, I wasn't around for this I was out riding my bike, so
I can't say for sure what the symptoms were, but the next morning at a
different location I had a hard time getting her started as well. She acted
like she was flooded, so with the pedal to the metal I cranked and cranked
until she finally, slowly came to life with a little cloud of smoke from the
exhaust. This is the first time I've had this problem and wanted to put it
to the list to see if anyone had any similar experiences or advice. The bus
in question is an 82 with a rebuilt engine put in less than 10 thousand
miles ago.
