Put the correct screw in, set the timing, now I have a higher idle so I was able to adjust it down, it was now running too RICH… no more missing, So I leaned out the MPS to get the AFR close to where it should be and It seems fine.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cant celebrate till I have more miles on it but I did indeed find things that were not right and its running better now, and more correctly now.
