Starting issues

[monsterbronco]

I can go home right now get in my bronco and she'll fire right up on the 2nd turn of the key just like clockwork. If I ride 10 min or longer and turn it off it will take me at least 10 min. to get her to fire back up. Now i was having problems a few months ago(not to this degree) so we adjusted the timing down and it worked great. It ran like a "top" again. Then after my honeymoon it has started doing it again and it seems to be running richer. Does this sound like a carb issue or timing may have jumped again? or anything other possibilities

Look into your timing chain...

If that's the case.., it will get worse. i.e. won't start at all.

You can test the carb. by using a "quick" shot of either.

How about the coil? I had a car that did that or would start missing & cutting out, but was hard to start when hot. It turned out it was the coil. Would the condensor do that too?

if the carb is leaking i.e. the power valve when you shut off your bronco the raw fuel drains in to the intake manifold and can make it hard to start and run rich. You can also try this to confirm the diag. go for a short drive just long enough to warm up the engine then shut it off and wait about 15 min. get in and hold the throttle at w.o.t. if it fires up faster then you know the carb. is leaking and causeing a rich fuel mixture on start up
