Just adjusted the valves .005 all around.. Went for a drive.. low idle, then while driving idle crept down and now it wont hold idle. It'll hold at 1.5 for a little (aar closed, engine warm) then it will slowly die.
Any idea's? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fighting19.gif) Andrew |

Ok went for a drive today.. While it was still warming up it didnt have any problems of low idling. Also, I (not dad) think I picked up a bit of hp.. Pulls very nice now.
Dad went for a drive right after, he said its about the same. But he came home and the low idle came back.. Basically it doesnt want to idle. Dad thinks its a tight valve.. So... After my BB game, I'll be checking the valves. (maybe) Andrew |
