been sitting waiting for a call to pick up the legacy outback and then go to the hardware store for some new fasteners. new oil and filter. couldn't wait any longer so... let the pump tone change, 4 pumps, hit the key and LIFT OFF!!! no muffler so it's LOUD. turned it off. have to get the muffler on, set the timing, balance the carbs, set the idle air for stable purring and button up the heat ducting. am i happy? FUCHIN' A!!!! don't want to jinx things with some outlandish prediction.
happy camper |

not a shameless plug. chris' cable linkage gets a big dose of credit on the smooth start. you can get it pretty damn close by eye just watching the action of the 2 pulleys after putting it on and presetting the throttle stop arms. had to turn the idle speed screws in a bit to find an acceptable idle, 850 to 900rpm. i'll get it up to operating temp today, confirm the timing and be breaking out the 'snail' to see what the flow is side to side. any adjustments can be made with one wrench and a short screwdriver. then find best idle with the idle air needle screws. when i swapped the mallory over, the rotor was close to the #1 terminal location with engine on tdc on cyl #1.
