I ran my engine last night for the first cold weather start up (40 degrees). It was a little tough to start and popped like all hell at first. Plus the idle was all screwed up since the last time I tuned it was when it was 85 out.
One things's for sure, my vacuum wiper motor is no good.
glade to see you had a good time. i dont know what, but it sounds to me you have more problems than just idling. do you have a choke? it should not pop like all hell no matter what. did you say what carb. you had. i believe your timing is off still. do you know for sure where TDC is?
