Re: Engine noise after deiseling event! Help!
UPDATE:
I pulled all the plugs, appears to be running on the lean side. I then fired it up and checked for exhaust leaks and didn't find any. Then I was finally able to narrow the ticking noise down to the mechanical fuel pump. Shut it down and it deiseled again. Decided the check the timing and found that it had move to 4* ATDC, I had set it at 8* BTDC when I did the HEI upgrade a few weeks back. Checked the dizzy hold down bolt and found it barely snug. Loosened it up adjusted timing back to 8* BTDC without VA hooked up. Adjusted the idle speed then the idle A/F mixture. Shut it down. No more deiseling. Drove it for about 20 miles, still no deiseling and fuel pump noise is a little quieter.
Thanks everyone for the advise.
