Hi Folks, Had this same problem two months ago, found the rear injector was leaking gas outside, replaced all o rings with injector kits, this fix the problem, had three great camping trips and no starting problems great, now the warm up starting problem is back , checked all injectors and no leaks and I don't smell gas at all under the hood, like last time. If the fuel is bleeding back to the tank on shut off, why does it start cold on as soon as I crank one time, has anyone had this problem and fixed it and ,and where do I go from hear, though about the coolant temperature senor , can get one for 22.50, but not sure this is the problem. once started runs perfect, does not miss a beat or stall, plenty of power , for a 1988 22re with 72000 miles. uses no oil , just now when warmed up and try to start have crank four or five times then starts and runs smooth, thinking maybe finding a high cliff and push it off , no starting problems anymore. HELP PLEASE------,HOPE SOMEONE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND FIXED IT TAKE CARE RICHARD

I just installed a new Dometic ac unit on my 1988 dolphin and tighten the four corner bolts to Dometic spec. but the roof bumpers are not touching the roof, its mainly supported by the gasket ,water hose tested it no leaks,would have to tighten 3/8 to 1/2 inch down on gasket for the bumpers to make contack, but new unit is a 2011 model and the compreser bolts are boled through the base , the bolt a washer, and a rubber gromet , and if I tighten more the heads of the bolts will also hit the roof, they are about 1/4 inch off now, has anybody see a problem with the way it is , it run find. the old unit was the same Dometic 13500 btu but see better days build in 1987, and someone tighten it down to where the gasket was a 1/4 inch thick, and sealed the hold unit to the roof all the way around , witch from what I know is worng. any input would ease my mine. thanks Richard

hi folks just added a new tack and at 55mph in OD the tack reads 2200 rpm is that about normal, what gear might I have in the diff. the tack is handy when I approach a hill,I can kick it out of OD to put less strain on the trans, the trans shifts around 1800 or 2000 at normal driving.
