Every year I try to fix a couple things before I begin the season. This year my boss offered to tune my carb for me in exchange for some yard work he needed done; he's really good with this stuff, has a track car he's always tuning.
To make a VERY long story short
•New accelerator pump diaphragm
•New distributor
•set timing (idled pretty good)
•Test drive
•small fire.... Timing was set at -12 not +12.... Fire extinguisher didn't work.....
•fire went out turns out ol' Dad didn't use high temp paint..
•old Ford tech pulls up, lives three doors down, sorts out my timing. GREAT
•back to home to do oil change
•boss didn't notice the old seal didn't come off... Big cleanup
•check sparkplug, drop sparkplug, break sparkplug
•top up the diff
• Good to Go
None of this was supposed to be complicated but sometimes luck just isn't on your side. What an exhausting day. I have to mention how good she runs though.
I hope you all come out of storage easier than I did and I'm looking forward to conversing with you guys again.::thumb::
