Greetings all. I am having a strange issue here... When I bought the 'zu last month, it started up fine, but as the weeks click by, it seems to be getting harder to start.

I can't really call it a hard start, but it is not as easy a start as it should be. Sometimes you have to hold the starter for 5 or 6 seconds before it will fire. Then once it does start, the smell of gas is in the air for a minute or so...

The power seems to have dropped off, but in all fairness, I did put on slightly larger tires recently (245/75/16).

It is a 1994 Troop, 3.2LV6, 5 speed manual, and a factory locked rear (Not that this has ANYTHING to do with the starting problem, but it is cool just the same.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
