Is it cold there?  The oil may be too thick.

Temp2 sensor could have backed out enough to be a problem. (Has happened to
me a few times). With the cooling and warming.

I've even seen a injector pigtail with a bad connection and give issues.

Hi to all,

My ‘82 air cooled would not start for a long time if I had it parked for a
long time.
Once it started up, it would start fine.  If I did not use it for two days,
it won’t start for a few minutes.

I installed fuel pressure gauge, that shows pressure immediately.
Checked the sparks and there is always.
The timing is good.
There is no vacuum problem.

Anyone?

Whishing the best to all Vanagonites for the new year.
