I'm perplexed: water from my Zork
Long story short: Parked the 930 outside last night. It rained. This morning the car started great and I drove 12 miles to work, where I parked it inside the covered garage.
Went down to start the car at lunch. Instead of instantly turning over like usual, I had to crank it and crank it until it finally caught. It wouldn't hold an idle for S#it, either. Gunned it for a good thirty seconds or so and the idle finally settled in. Shut the car off and decided to go for a look at the rear of the car and there was huge cone of water than had been shot from the Zork. I smelled it - it isn't gas. OK, no muffler means no condensation so did water get into my motor last night? If so, from where???

Kenik - that looks totally normal to me - lots of condensation builds up in the head pipes, and the rest of the exhaust plumbing, in a hurry when cranking the engine without firing -especially if humid out. I would bet Paul's balls that the slow to start is related to moisture beneath distributor cap (or similar cause).

I wouldn't feel a need to post about my expression of fluids, if it were.

Kenik, you misspelled "but" - two ts, always!
Speaking of fluids and hard starting, has Paul been anywhere near you car recently? His car's fuel tank screen is plugged (like something else of his), and it's not with sediment in the conventional sense, either!
