TD is still sick and can't seem to
make it better. Been running just fine until Sunday. Drove it
about 15 miles and let it sit for the day and got in it that
afternoon, pulled the
choke drove a few miles, pushed the choke in and after
about 3 or so miles it started missing, back firing, and would not do
well under load. Would kick out some black smoke when it back fired.
Made it to the little garage that works on any and everybody's car and
he housed it for the rest of the weekend.
Today, the first thing was to free the starter, which has never stuck
before, then we checked out the dizzy, readjusted the
points, timing and idle. Drove it and still did the same thing,
starts great, idles great but under load starts back firing and
missing. Put in new plugs, readjusted the points, set idle and
timing, drove it about two miles ran great. Brought the idle down
from 1200 to 950. Left the garage got about 5 miles away and it
started missing, backfiring under load.
Any suggestions.
Thanks!
Mike
