OK, if you remember, I asked about a 1991 2500 Chevy pick up that had been
sitting for 5 years.
We got it running, and it failed inspection for hydrocarbons being too
high (they were 466 and max allowed was 220ppm)
The CO% was very low (.68)
So, I checked all the vacuums and they were good. I changed the wires,
plugs, rotor, distributor cap, and air cleaner.
After that, the HC were dropped to 240ppm (20 points too high.) The CO%
went up to .94 (still under the max of 1.20.)
So, I'm guessing that I can get it down with an additive or running really
hot (or cold.)
What is the collective wisdom of what I can do next to get the last 20
points? Free is best.
Thanks in advance!
