[DMCForum] Mmmm. Fire good!



Here's a quick description of what I did last night. 

I turned the key to on and put my voltmeter on fuse 1 (while the fuse was
still installed). I heard (what I believe to be) the RPM relay click. That
seemed odd. Was that a stuck relay? Then I yanked fuse 1 and cleaned its
contact and sprayed a little electrical cleaner on it. With the fuse back
and fingers crossed, I cranked the engine. 

Click - rurururururur - putt putt puttputtputtVROOM! 

She's alive! For the first time in 4 months she lives. The engine hunted
for
about 15 seconds, trying to stall. Eventually, the idle smoothed out and
purred at 900-1000 RPMs. I ran out into the street and beat my chest.

I went around to the engine and saw copious amount of smoke. Sweet mercy
what now! At closer inspection, the supposed 1500 degree hi-temp paint I
put
on the exhaust was burning away. Cheap-ass shit. Anyways, the exhaust
still
ticks so I'll have to re-torque the manifolds, but it sounded good.

I slipped a timing light on and discovered, to my horror, that timing was
WAAAAY off. Wait a minute. I was checking on the wrong wire. A quick move
to
six revealed SPOT ON timing. Electrical timing was good.

Next up: re-torque head and manifold and take that bitch out on the road.
