Re: [DML] Non Starting problem

Phil, Now that you got it started, Adjust the lower screw ( clock ) on the 
throttle body lever to keep it running. But make sure the top screw is in far 
enough to activate the idle speed motor. You need to take the motor off and 
look inside to make sure the passage way valve is opening. 
Timing, when you adjust the lower idle screw, it will do the same as you 
sitting there with your foot on the peddle. You have got to have a timing 
light to adjust to 13 degrees BTDC. Once that's done and the car is running, 
then you can back off the screws to lower the idle to about 950. But, Again, 
I would look and make sure the valve in the motor is opening. It may hummmm 
but not turn inside.

<< I checked the Idle speed motor and it is working. I got it to fire up 
and was able to keep it running for a minute by keeping my foot on the 
gas, but it smelled like it was running real rich. I know the timing 
has got to be off so is there a way to get the timing set fairly close 
so I can get it idling to set it correctly?
