My good sir, I did dose my fuel with 2 bottles of the finest W.M.Penn valve ease on saturday. Drove about a 100kms on sunday... it was still cranking long then.


This morning it fired up immediately.

After that I tested it every 2 hours and it kept on starring perfectly from cold.

Thank you for your advice...

Now. If you told me 3 month ago you would have saved me a crapload of money!!!!!

That's good mister glad it helped you. You should also put in some injector cleaner in your tank . That should also help .

I have run 4 cycles of injector cleaner. No use.

It seems my problem was a sticky valve... or a valve that was gummed and not seating nicely?
