I just got my 1600cc engine re-built in my bus at a shop for $1600. I also got the carbeurator re-built and put a new battery in. The valves and timing have also been set.
The problem I'm having is : getting my vehicle to start and not overheat. The reason I think that it's overheating is because I can feel the air coming out of the vents and it's extremely hot, and then the car starts to lose power. When it finally starts, I will go and run an errand or two and then, it wont start at all. It just cranks, and cranks. I let it set an hour or two and it might start. Sometimes, even when it's been setting overnight and it's cool and I pump the accelerator three to four times, it still wont start. It has spark and fuel and wont start. ?
Before I got the engine rebuilt, it never hesitated to start. Even in the dead of winter. It has a electronic start on it.
The shop that re-built the engine is saying it's not their problem and the problem I'm having has nothing to do with the engine re-build. First, they said the battery was bad and then they said the carb needed rebuilding. I did both of those things and am having the same problem. Now, over the phone they said maybe the fuel pump is bad?
Do you have any ideas?
