Subject:'87 Westy stalling when cold
From:Jeffrey Howard

Hi All,

I have an '87 Westy 4-sp with about 30K miles on an AVP reman
engine. Unless I keep my foot on the gas after starting it, the engine
will stall until it warms up. After it's warm, if I shut the engine off for
more
than a few minutes, the same thing happens. Kind of annoying.
I replaced the coolant temp sensor (blue) but no luck. Coolant temp
gauge reads the way it always has. I don't think it's the idle control valve
as the idle isn't oscillating. I haven't tuned it up since the getting
the new engine so I'll do that shortly. Anyone have any other
ideas?

Thanks much!

Jeff
