It's beginning already. Let's see ... while it's idling, you shove your middle finger way up the tailpipe, swab it around a bit, than taste it. If it's way too sooty, YOUR RUNNING RICH; turn the idle mixture screw in 1/2 turn and repeat above. In between head spins, don't forget to watch the idle speed with an automotive meter (Dwell-Tachometer), NOT with your uncalibrated dash-mounted clock-o-meter. Now the fun part begins, gettin' to trash the engine while you figure out if the low and/or high speed jets are anywhere NEAR correct. After all, without one of them there dynos the pros (a.k.a. MassIVE Jake) use, you get to eyeball it, a LOT. Are the spark plug electrodes arc-welded off? Shucks, you might be runnin' a tad LEAN; gotta richen those carbs up quick! Can you start a camp fire by just wiping your plugs on kindling and lighting it with music from your MP3 player? WHOAH, circuit's WAY too rich; it's a wonder you haven't detonated that Mittlemotor exhaust on your last trip to Blockbusters. CO2 reading my left nut; it's called reading your spark plugs, syncing your carbs, and calibrating your ear(s). From this point on, you're going to wake up with OEM D-Jet FI wet dreams ... |
