I have a problem to start the engine, it can be start but really hard. sometime after 7-8 crank .. then it can start.. I do have problem until my new battery weak and I need to do jumper start .. coz the battery kiok oledi..

I did check

1) Coil good condition , got fire / new battery / fuel of course ..

I did check the spark plug , seem like fuel really rich .. (carbon black on that spark plug)

It that sometime I need to changed in handset .. I did tried to increase watertemp ..current water temp was 38% , I increase somehow about 10% - 15% . but I'm afraid to increase more because of the plug showed it really rich .. anything I need to touch with crank ???


My idle currently run at 13.5-14.0 AFR ..

overall check including starter, distributor, throttle body ( sensor )
dont forget also the fuel system i.e fuel pump, fuel lines. ( might be choking )
just my opinion......:driver::driver:
