We have a 73 2.0, signal orange,box stock, rebuilt motor this winter. Pretty clean little car. We are second owners. Car has run great until this week.......OK, I've heard of the vapor lock warm start thing. But we live in Portland!...and it's February! For the past three days the temp has been in the 60's, hit 70 today. Saturday, drove teener to lunch, had lunch, starts after much cajoling. Then today, strands Pamela in Beaverton for about an hour. She finally gets it started. Car tuns over just fine, won't fire. Spit, cough, whirrr.......

Do we have a vapor problem? In Portland, less than 70 degrees?

Gary
