Dont worry. It s absolutely normal :-)
We discussed that some weeks ago. Perhaps you can find the old postings in
the database. The origin of this problem is a loss of fuel in the
carburettor because of the fuel pump is running only WHILE pressing the
starter button (and later of course). It is NOT running when you simply
switch on ignition (as normal in most cars).
A solution is also provided: Switch on the fuel with a time relais for
about 5 seconds after switching on ignition.
