Stalls after starting

Post by webb1624 »

The issue I'm having is with the first start of the day. The engine starts up fine but shuts off after about 2 to 3 seconds. It does this 4 to 5 times before it actually stays running. Once it warms up it starts fine. I have adjusted Cranking pulse and ASE. I'm thinking it needs more fuel but my adjustments haven't made a difference.

I have attached my MSQ. What is my next step in getting it to stay running.

Increase the warm-up enrichment (WUE).

I was under the impression with it happening just a few seconds after start up I should be focusing on ASE to help keep engine running. I will try adding some WUE today and see if that helps.

Did some tuning today and it seems like the more ASE I gave it the better it got. I also added some cranking pulse and that seemed to help as well.
