Okay, Got the car washed and went to fill er up with 91 pump gas.
The first thing I noticed is that it seems to take forever to warm up. Pops and sputters quite a bit when first started cold.(I know this is the nature of carbs) After about 6 - 8 minutes it smooths out and when up to temp it seems to smooth out even more. Oil temp stayed under 180 the whole time. One thing it does is after coming to a stop light, the idle stays up around 1500 rpm and after about 30 seconds will drop to 1k. Normal? I didn't run it up over 6k but up over 2200 or so WHOA FREAKING SHIT!!!! THIS THING ROCKETS... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/burnout.gif) I think it'll need some fine tuning to make it perfect but it's a world of difference... |

Congrats...first drive in a sixer is somethin' you'll remember for a long time!
If you have the factory-style throttle linkage, another thing to check is the adjuster at the trans bellcrank. If the cable adjuster is even slightly too tight then the throttle won't close all the way consistently. There needs to be a teeny bit of cable slack. Sorry if I missed it, but what's the engine and overall setup? |
