Damn ONTARIO CARS!!!:doubt:


The spring hanger came through the trunk floor on the drivers side of the Cordoba today.


So I had to dust off the old mig and look for a chunk of steel to re-enforce what was left of the trunk floor.


Damn is that thing crusty where the sun don't shine.


And I KNOW it came from the Land of XL because on the very rusty rear bumper in a CAA Ontario sticker.


Oh I had to put exhaust on it today too.

Cops out here don't like straight pipe.:doubt:

So it's got single side exit.


Still can't get the damn thing to run right.

Changed the carb, plugs, cap and rotor and it still runs like it's outta time.

and even after I piddle with the disributor It STILL kicks back on the starter but runs pretty decent.

If I retard the timing to the point where it doesn't kick back it won't idle.

AAAAARRRRGH!!!:wall:



Help?


All I did was completely convert it from Lean-Burn. Carb, dizzy and wiring.

Could the ECU be shot?:wtf:

Timing chain maybe.

 

[Diplomat_Wagon]

I can't see it because when you revv it up it runs almost perfect.

Sometimes when I start it it's too advanced and sometimes it's not.


it's got me stumped.

Yup.....

...sloppy chain for sure.

Pull the dist cap and turn the crank back & forth to check the slop.

 

[Da-ho]

Could be sticky advance weights, try moving them with the rotor and see if they return.

 

[6pkrunner]

Agreed - check for the advance weights stuck in the advanced or fully open position, then check the slop in the chain as 68 has uttered.

Shittlesticks?

And yet another culinary delight is born!

 

[Diplomat_Wagon]

Yeah, it was the weights in the dist.

Set the timing for 10* BTDC and shes good! :dance:


The chain is pretty good on the old beast, not much slop at all.

 

[Da-ho]

cool

Its always a good idea to check the obviuos / easy stuff first.:dance:

-glad you brought it up beep. I seen the title and just about died. But I wasn't going to mention it and see if it flew unhindered. But almost as bad it had to be you to snag it. No one else seems twigged, delighted, screwed over by the turn of these phrases like you and I.

*exxxxcellent, the plan to ship all crappy rusted cars out is slowly coming into effect....exxxxcellent*
Today we take over the world!!

did I mention I upped the dosage on my pills? Are Shittlesticks those straws full of shit that Beep keeps handing me? He seems to suck a lot of those back lately....



Ohhhh, the colours!
