when ive been on a long run and the car has been up to temp and then i stop, turn car of for half hour or so when i go to start the car again it takes a good 4 or 5 seconds before it fires up, could it be that it needs a little choke even tho its still hot or could it be the valve clearences

could just be the fuel evapourating in the carb hence renault fitted the anti perc fan to help cure this problem. its a common problem so i shouldnt worry bowt it. just make sure theres no bystanders as i find it embarrasing

Think you will find this the norm with most 5 Gtt's especially as most people rip out the perc fans. Opening a can of worms with the question of keep or bin? I always ran a perc fan on mine with no problems :)

Mike, I have an anti perc fan as well. Have exactly the same thing happen so i guess its nothing to worry about, I just pump the gas once before i start the engine and it starts up fine.
