Background - I got the engine in my '73 2.0 (D-jet) running a while back (after several years slumber). It actually was running pretty decently, other than a spastic AAR. But it had many oil leaks, so I dropped it to get to everything easier.
While it was out, I replaced all the vacuum lines, and a bunch of oil seals and such. AAR was disassembled and refurbished (as best I could). Eliminated the decal valve. No other injection work. Now that the engine is in the car, it is running way rich, even when warm. So much so that it loads up after a bit and won't rev, and left to idle it will load up and die. AAR now appears to be working fairly well, once warmed there is little or no vacuum at that hose. Since there really weren't many changes, I'm thinking this must be something fairly simple. Any suggestions? |

Start with the fuel sock visual inpection. Simply drain the tank using an old facet pump, 2 long pieces of fuel line and a battery with long pieces of wire. Put one piece of hose down the fill opening and the other piece going to a LARGE catch can. Next, look down the fill with a flashlight. You should be able to see the screen. Hopefully your tank is fairly empty. When you cut the lines off of the outlet and return be prepared. It will be a gusher.
