engine starts but cuts out a couple seconds after.

Post by jack1781 »

hello, i have a 1984 Mitsubishi l300, with a 1980 GH sigma 4G52 engine in it.

the problem i am having is as follows. when i start the car it turns over and starts well but then after a couple seconds stops. it does this for a while but then i found if i leave it for ten minutes and come back after a few previous tries it will last longer befor cutting out, and so on ,till it finally starts.once the car has started properly even if for a couple minutes it then runs as normall and will start as normal. the car drives well, the engine itself in great condition.

i have changed the carburetor because the other one's butterfly spring had broken and the choke was gone, so the current issue cant be due to the carby.

any help or suggestions would be brilliant thanks.
