I'm trying to follow the suggestion of Brad Anders and others on this board. They recommend trying a 270 ohm ballast resistor in the the head temp sensor line as a way to richen the mixture as a fix for a poor cold running engine.
I asked for such a resistor and this is all the Radio Shack guy could provide. I had a choice between 220 ohms and 330 so I took 220. What concerns me is that the word "ballast" is nowhere on the item. Are these what I want or do I need keep looking?  |
