ok cant be bothered lookin at previous posts! what could cause my petrol maverick to run absolutly crap and blow smoke and fart etc etc first thing in the morn till it warms up?

timing and mixture for starters.

spark plugs/leads ... timing/tuning
how many kms on the motor worn rings will do it too

OK I cant be bothered answering either

Bazzle

blown head gasket is a possibility also

Hey mine does it too, but runs sweet when it warms up. I get used to it. Tried everything.

I cant be bothered either so I agree with Screwy. Water gets into cylnders with remaining pressure left in the radiator overnight giving wet plugs in the morning.


Welcome to the world of GQ heads.

buy a diesel

sticking choke links and butterfly will cause these symptoms try cleaning them all up with carbon cleaner in a can like nulon or one of those products.

petrol vapours are what burns not the actual petrol liquid. When you start the car in morning the fuel is all cold therefore not in its most combustible state. After a few minutes of fuel running through pump and getting returned to tank it warms up and becomes easier to burn therefore smooth running. Timeing, mixtures and engine condition do play a part also. Jut a bit of a carby thing!
