Title: cutting out engine
Post by: Spacey86 on August 22, 2005, 05:39:28 PM
Hi there guys, got a small problem to do with my engine cutting out. Under heavy breaking to a stop the engine totally cuts out, and then will be really hard to restart takes about 10 seconds of holding the starter, can be very embarrassing when it happens in town!

This little problem has got everybody in my local shop baffled and my for that matter, so if anybody has any ideas on what I could possibly be, please, please, please say no matter how silly, really need help on this one.

Thanks guys----Dave

Oh ye you don’t even have to be breaking from a massive speed for it to happen, will happen at about 20 Mph

Not sure what the problem is but this is at least the second person to post this problem (unless you posted before).  :headscratch:

When it refires, does it smell like it was flooded?  It almost sounds like the force of breaking is causing too much fuel to get by.  Weird.
