Thermo time switch?..

[CJD2005]

Hi All, think I need a new thermo time switch, have not tested it fully yet but when my engine is hot and try to re start say 10-15 mins later it ticks over like it's flooded. When engine is cold starts no problem first turn of the key.

Any suggestions on where you can buy a new one from?.

Cheers

Thanks for responses, thought this would be the case, I saw that one on ebay but with it been a used one was not keen. 'Came off a good running engine' does not mean he had no trouble starting when hot! ...may just have to bear with it and leave it more than 15 mins in future..

So I disconnected the plug off the thermo switch and guess what when the engine is hot and
you go back to it around 10 mins later it's like a bag of hammers and stalls! Oh dear! A bit lost now......

Thanks For the info, one thing I did not try was disconnecting the cold start injector ( blue plug )Even with the switch disconnected ( brown plug ) would this still work. I understand that the cold start works also when the engine is hot, if the engine does not start after so many seconds?. Think it may have to go to a specialist.

I have checked the cold start valve by removing and it appears to be working correctly. The check valve is this within the fuel accumulator ? I know you can buy a new accumulator off the capri club website however are around £150! . To check the injectors for dribbling can you just pull the fuel line off the injectors?

Turning the ignition on 2-3 times ( bumping the fuel pump ) seems to solve the hot start issue for the time being. Not going to take the injectors out, however will a new accumulator help?

Thanks for all your help, I can probably do the check valve, accumulator, o rings and check the strainer, but will probably get the pressure checked by a specialist.

The o rings ... Just need a bit of clarity on these, are they on the banjo bolts.?

Thanks again.
