Sorry. Been busy moving my mountain of parts from a large storage locker to
a 1 car cubby hole (still not finished!) Backfiring the BBD clears crud out
of the idle jets and makes them run much better. Same goes with most
Japanese cars I have worked on that wouldn't idle right.

What drove me buggy was the idle was still all over the board,
so I
crossed #2 and #5 plugwires at the cap and made it backfire
(don't think
any
neighbors heard it as we left the aircleaner on) That made it
FINALLY
idle
correctly so I could drop the speed down to @500 RPMs (may have
to
readjust
later) and the raw gas smell is gone (it'll probably get closer
to 17
mpg
now if not better)

Okay, I'll bite -- what did making it backfire through the carb
do??
