I posted this yesterday & i never showed up .. any ways we have just got a cold snap here started van idled in the drive way turned it off after 5 mins last night tried to start it 5 min later just turned over so i thought maybe flooded I smell a wiff of gas anyways mess around for 20mins then after a few more mins of cranking fires up down to the home dump to pickup some h/w in for the store for 10 mins back out same deal bu this time cant get it to fire just cranks & small wiff of gas so stuff a spare plug in the #1 wire we got spark, so I pull #1plug W7DTC 3 prongits black & fouled same with all 3 others & then I C carbon build up on the tail pipe (it was a highway run to home dump so it must be running rich even at highway speed) so i stuff back in my old W7CO'sfires right up ... anf fires up today so I have a rich running issue air-filter, dist, os2, temp2, cap, rotor, wires all new within 12mths so what am i left with over pressure regulator, afm adjustments ?? new part crapping out in cold ?? it seems to correspond with the cold snap so what tends to fail at freezing temps that cause rich running also on the run last night down the highway it feel ok when running looking for best guess here ?
