thats because it has always run way too fkng rich which is why your plugs are all black, but if it aint leaking water we will "try" to fix that too.  :thumb:

Exactly what should he be impressed about...the smoking exhaust, the pitch black plugs, or the water in the oil?  :lmao:

Yes

ok, do you want to see if you can turn every screw clockwise EXACTLY 1/4 turn or not?

If you do not want to try this then don't worry about it.

if you do want to try it then tell us and do it now if you want.

after turning them in, we need another video exactly like the last one before we do anything else.

Yes definitely.

That's why i think i was getting a bit confused with the idle because i was comparing it to the old cam.

Xlnt, I told ya so . Your last cam was GAY.  :sick:

This is a real man's cam and I think your gonna like it, but bring an extra pair of shorts when you decide to test it out.  :thumb:

It definitely sounds quite obnoxious under the hood just like a real "race car" should and it will kick GLENNS cars ass so bad he'll never think about doing anything other than Lawn Bowling again.   :cry:

I'm tellin ya, if you put straight thru mufflers on it, it will sound like a dragster.

 :burnout:

Ok, here ya go, and you must follow the instructions exactly this time . I am trying to achieve the impossible here.  :thumb:

Order the distributor clamp from Ebay or a speed shop or get a chrome one from Super Cheap as soon as possible . When using the correct clamp, the bolt should only have a lock washer on it.

Make sure the distributor bolt is tight.

Put your new 5 qts of oil and filter in.

Make sure you have enough gas.


YOU NEED TO DO THE FOLLOWING EXACTLY HOW IT IS DESCRIBED OR IT WILL BE USELESS AND YOU WILL HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN AFTER THE ENGINE HAS NOT RUN FOR AT LEAST 4 HOURS SO DON'T SCREW THIS UP.

1. Turn the fuel mix screws on the base of every carb, in [clockwise] EXACTLY 1/4 turn . Do not turn the idle setting screws or you will be very, very, unhappy.

2. Put your video camera in the car then turn the camera on.

3. Push the gas pedal down 1/2 way then let it up.

4. Push the gas pedal down 1/8th of the way and hold it there.

5. Turn the key to start it . Do NOT pump the gas pedal or remove your foot from it while turning the key.

6. After it starts and runs for only 5 seconds, remove your foot from the gas . If it dies, restart it and keep the idle up for 30 seconds, then let your foot off the gas pedal.

7. If it idles, let it idle for a total of 30 seconds only . After this, quickly stab the gas pedal 1/2 way to the floor as fast as you friggen can then instantly let it up . It "should" die or almost die before it revs up so don't worry if it does . If it dies, simply restart it then go to step 8. 

8. Take the same video you did yesterday of the engine and the exhaust at idle but try to get behind the car if you can this time.

9. After this, shut the video off and let it idle for 5 minutes.

10. After 5 minutes is up, look at the exhaust to see if it still smokes.

11. Next, get in the car and stab the gas pedal 1/2 way to the floor as fast as you friggen can then instantly let it up . It should have less hesitation now then it did when you first did it and it should not die . If it does, we can fix it.

12. Post the video.

Well, that actually kinda depends on whether he can keep it running long enough to finish a race which is still questionable, but at least it sounds good sitting in his new oily, gas and soot covered driveway.  :lmao:
