Re: [DML] frequency valve again

["Dave Sontos" <dsontos@xxxx>]

Hi Jim,
my frequency valve only buzzes a few seconds with the key on and not
starting the engine, so I would say that's normal.

It sounds to me like you have dirt in your fuel distributor that's making
your car run rich. Try adjusting the CO adjusting screw and get the fuel
mixture leaned out. Then once the engine is in running order you can
diagnose what's wrong. If you keep running the engine in the rich mode you
will fill the muffler with carbon and also coat the oxygen sensor with
carbon making it unable to read the air fuel mixture coming thru it. Not to
mention what all that gas is doing to your cylinder walls.
