Listers:
My '76 now has a minor but noticeable stumble on acceleration, but only when
the car is cold. For the first 3/4 mile or so, each time I accelerate I
feel it stumble once or twice as the revs increase. This habit disappears
after
that. I usually use the choke until it isn't required any more (a few
blocks). When I say cold, by the way, the car never gets REALLY cold, because
the
lows in Miami right now are about 75 degrees in the middle of the night.
The only other clue is that the plugs on cylinders 1-3 are clearly somewhat
sooty. The plugs on cylinders 4-6 are a nice toasty gray-brown.
The Haynes manual has a procedure on page 65 to set the mixture. It
requires a special tool (BMC S353) to adjust the air valve stem in the
dashpot. Am
I on the right track here?
Thanks.
