Re: Carb tuning eh?

Damien, I understand the water as a bypoduct of combustion but wouldn't there still be water out the exhaust even if it was richer?

Chevloray, yeah I have had to install a spacer to stop the heat soak and was replacing plugs regularly every two weeks due to white ash buildup on the plugs. May have a mild intake leak. Oil seems fine so yeah, I may leave it as is until spring.

Spinem, how do you think a vac leak is affecting things?
I do have some problems with idle tuning that make me think of a vac leak. For instance, when setting idle, has to be around 850 to keep from stalling in gear.
I was thinking this might be transmission vac modulator or torque converter issue or the possible intake leak I mentioned above, as I have checked for leaks in every other hose including brake booster.

thx
