Hi all,

My 89 240 has become very hard to start first time in the morning. Cranks excessively then will finally catch and idle peckishly. If I try to rev it it will bog and stall. If I accelerate ever so slowly and carefully it will pick up rpms, but any sudden increase of the throttle will stall it. After about 15-20 minutes it seems to straighten out and will be good for the rest of the day. It seem particularly bad after a heavy rain. Looking for some experience to short cut me to a place to begin looking.

Cold start injector?, hall sensor?, crank position sensor? Not even sure if my model has these or where they're located.

BTW, I tried and tried to find the 700/900 FAQs but I could find no link on the site to them anywhere. Just a drop drown menu that did not respond at all. I even tried to search for the term "700/900 faq" but all it did was turn up threads that mentioned it. Could someone paste and post the URL so I can copy and save it!!

Thanks!!, Kurt
