I'm wondering if there was a very small piece of something in the fuel system that got caught in one of the injectors stopping it from closing off completely. This might lead to a little fuel dribbling into a cylinder causing flooding - maybe.
I know the previous owner changed the fuel pump. Perhaps I should check that it has the correct submersible fuel hose as the wrong stuff might break down.
I had that on my 83 RS and in March replaced everything inside the tank. Pump, mount, damper, basket, filter, hoses, clamps. Since then I have changed the tank, outside fuel lines, clamps and all the vacuum lines and vacuum caps. I have spare clean injectors in the shed and these are going in at some later time.
My 84 RT is getting the same treatment next. I have it 9 years and last did the tank and fuel line change in 2013. 50k miles on it since.
