My car is fixed! wwoooo hoooo... :)

Post by LongBeach311 »

I set the air fuel and ignition timing. now running like a champ!! wooo hooo... I am soo happy, I save lots of money by doing it myself. Thanks for all yo guys who have been very helpful!

It doesn't diesel no more. Only have to cranck the engine about 2 to 3 times to start it up in the morning. I dont know the use of choke knob properly, so I just pull it halfway and try to start it.

A little pinging, but I guess just have to play around with the ignition timing a little bit.

no smoke coming out at all, just some water drops in the morning. fluid level is constant! :)

Longbeach,

Pinging is still a bad symptom and you can burn a hole in a piston if not taken care of. I would at least figure out which dizzy you have in there and then either recurve or by a rebuilt from one of the vendors(around $125.00 plus a core I believe) I would hate to see you have bigger problems down the road.
