This message was originally sent to Tom Yang, but was rejected by his
internet service so I will send it to the alpine group instead.
Do your strombergs "or any other carburator" leak into the inlets after the
engine turns off? Leaky float seats can bleed fuel into wherever it can go
when the engine can no longer consume the additional fuel. This causes
puddleing in the inlet and can cause a lot of load on the starter.
Is your battery and charging system any good? Battery should be close to
15v on it with the engine charging.
Because I run electronic fuel injection and a generator, my alpine eats
batteries "1 a year" and now I buy mine with an 85 month pro-rata return.
Ive had just the problem that you describe, and I found that the problem
goes away when the charging system is fully operative and the carbs dont
leak.
