The air cooled engines have separate cold start injector which is controlled
by the thermo-time switch.

Subject: Starts day, won't at night ...

As the headline says.  This is a 1982 air-cooled van.  Daytime, when it's a
little warmer, it starts right away.  But somehow at night or early morning,
when it's a little colder, it won't.
I know, there are two temp. sensors and usually the temp. II sensor is the
one I would change.  I just haven't experienced this kind of behavior.
Maybe none of you would know and send me a message about it, and I will go
out and buy a Temp. II sensor and see if it works.  But what if the Temp. I
(one) sensor is the one that is not working as it should?  I never heard of
that to be changed.
My respects to the List.
