What did I do or miss?, All better now! Options

[arne]

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?

Got it! It runs again!

When dropping the engine, I must have bumped the new steel fuel lines, pushing the supply line forward a bit, which kinked the hose. I went ahead and put a longer hose with a loop in it to prevent this in the future.

Now I appear to be back where I was prior to the engine drop, except without the oil leaks!
