Problem solved 850 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be new 850 owner on  Wed Sep 25 13:31 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Ok when I first cranked it it did fire and sputter and stop. thinking i didn't engage the starter long enough i tried it again but not enough juice to crank it.

I waited the hour and cranked for a long time, the engine was turning over faster and faster and faster then was firing but not catching. it finally fired and started then stalled. ok close... so i tried cranking and cranking it was slow then speed up faster then started to fire and started then hummed like Inga in a hottub.

Did I have some kind of vapor lock? Battery power wasn't the problem the longer i cranked the faster it got.

curious as to the quick solution in a similar situation (bound to happen to me)

btw took her for a ride about 10 miles and back to her spot, did great and started right back up!
