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. Jim B wrote: 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?? _________________________________________________________________ Get live scores and news about your team: Add the Live.com Football Page http://www.live.com/?addtemplate=football _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.amc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/amc-list
