Re: [Amc-list] Brian is a happy camper and so am I!

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.

idle
correctly so I could drop the speed down to @500 RPMs (may have
to

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??
