Re: Edl 1409

i am still rocking the stock qjet. i have a miss that seems to stay with me all the time now. and she will not idle low enough. feel like its around 8-900 i want around 650 so looks like i need to retime it and put timing tape on her and not use vaccum gauge. and then turn the bleeders some and see what she does. but i am geting 15mpg at this time with cityish driving lol

as far as the miss, how bad is it? more than likely it is an ignition issue...
wiring order correct?
make sure to pull the hose off the vacuum advance, and pug the hose when you set the timing...
are there any vacuum leaks?

Re: Edl 1409

i am still rocking the stock qjet and she is running good but i have a missed that is steady but random cyl. on the other note i cant get her to idle low enough. seems around 900 i am looking for 650ish. time to retime add timing tape and not use the vac guage and see what i get then readjust the carb. but i am geting 15mpg with city driving.

damn laptop showed it didnt post lol

miss is not bad but there. this motor has always missed in low rpm(under 1500) but i did brake the air tube to the manifoild so i have a massive leak. thats next. i am going to take all the crap off and get back to dizzy and carb only as i have no emissions to pass anyway.
