Well, today was the first time in quite a while I've been able to work on the Bee. It was put away last summer, not driven during the winter or while I was in Iraq.

Today, I installed new plugs, coil, colorful vacuum line set and a rebuilt MPS. //edit// Also squirted some oil in each cylinder. //

I flushed the old gas out by jumping the fuel pump relay, and filled the tank with 5 fresh gallons of gas.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) It fired right up! It idles a bit high (~2800 rpm). No vacuum leaks. Unplugging the hose on the back of the MPS, and the idle drops to about 1000 rpm.

Any ideas?
