[QUOTE="startthesho, post: 8244495, member: 31316"] as the title says, my engine will start cold, run and stay at a decent temp when it is sitting/idling (~180*), but when i shut it down it won't fire again for about 10-15 minutes. i recently replaced the head gaskets after they both let go last fall. got it completely together a couple of weeks ago. adjusted the valves for first start up, ran it to warm it. shut it down to put a valve cover with no top on to make final adjustments, and now it won't fire back up. timing is fine, fuel is there, spark is apparently there at least when cold(?). i do have the plugs gapped at 35 i believe for nitrous. they looked clean when we pulled them. this engine does have ~500 miles on it only as i just got it in mid-september, and then the head gaskets went in early october. could it just be tight and stubborn still? any other ideas? it's carbed, msd 6al dizzy, and blaster coil, ford 9mm plug wires [/QUOTE]
