We have a 1990 Southwind motorhome. Ran fine until recently. Now, it starts right up, runs good for about 30 sec., then the idle gets rough, the motor sounds like it's surging, and it dies. My husband cleaned out the fuel filter (there's only one) but its not the problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!.
With a 1990 and most likely an 88 or 89 chassis, are we still talking carburetor here and if so, how about a stuck choke, considering the cold/hot symptoms. Does it have a heat riser and if so, they are notorious for sticking shut. Whatever the case, it sounds like it's running way to rich for a warm engine. You might take a look inside the tail pipe for black soot and another tell tell sign.
