[DML] Re: YET ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH JOSH'S BEAST

["bitsyncmater" <david.mckeen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Your mixture was set with the bad accumulator.  Now that you have a 
good one installed you need to adjust the mixture.

back, we shut it down and checked everything over for any problems.  
After about a half hour, tried to start it up, and NO GO.

accumulator.  I had to go out of town for a week, so yesterday was 
the first day I was able to fire it up after changing the bad 
accumulator.  One half second of cranking and it fired right up.  
Idle was a bit low (650-700) but it was running.  Wasn't able to 
accelerate and as the car warmed up, I kept having to add throttle to 
keep it running (up to 2000 rpm).  As soon as the thermostat opened, 
I let off the throttle and it died.  It would not start after that.
