i believe the adjective i used after the valve clearance adjustment last weekend was "purr-y." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) well, that is over. as the tank was very low, i filled 'er up with chevron 92 octane, and threw in a bottle of stp carb cleaner additive for good measure. what i got for my efforts is rough running, hesitance, the occasionaly misfire when cold, and a general feeling of all not right with the world. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
could it be the gas? could it be me? could it be the pre-flood rains we've been having? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) it isn't my imagination, so it must have a real cause. i have searched archives for spark plug info, wire info, etc. the gas question occured to me late. any ideas? correlation, or causation? |

shane has a progressine card and prob a facet pump. the cb weber book states the prog as having 2 idle jets. it shows the primary is located behind the accelerator pump assembly, YIKES! the exploded diagram doesn't show where the other one is located. you can use the fuel pump to drain the tank. you can borrow my book if you would like. i think Small Car Performance has them in stock also. fyi, make sure the filter is upstream of the facet. i bet the stp cleaned the carb bowl and the junk clogged the jet. does the car run well when you are accelerating and just a crappy idle?
