[DMCForum] Re: Diesel 460



Put Darren up top because your eyes may glaze over towards end of post:

Get a price on R30 CPR. Do I need that little canister, or could I run
directly back to fuel distrubutor? eMail me direct:
brobertson(at)carolina.net.

Now, about your wayward perceptions:

A *DIESEL*? If there's anything a 460 is not, it's a diesel. Nuclear
power plant maybe, but certainly not a diesel.

This is what's driving me crazy with PRV. My 460's idle smooth as
silk. 500-600 RPM no variation. (Lincoln doesn't give you a dash tach
because you don't need one. Just set it by ear and forget about it for
the next 20 years). Forward vacuum system ends up in a heap in my
driveway so they may get a tad fussy at 32 degrees until warmed up,
but that's only a 5 minute proposition (and how often does my little
southern town see freezing anyway?)

In theory the little silver car should do same. I'm close, but not
there yet. Can take all wander out by bumping up RPM's (remember I
have fast idle valve), that's why I was convinced was vacuum leak not
CPR. Sure enough, hit everything again last night and it stumbled in
middle of intake manifold. Frustrating.

Looking through my industrial supply catalog came across seals with
large curved lip, like fat belt weatherstripping. Are designed to wipe
shafts of hydraulic cylinders clean as they move. Wonder if they might
not seal better than round O ring? Are only $2, so wouldn't hurt to
buy a couple in case.

And if do I manage to reseal stupid thing AGAIN, may leave well enough
alone (or switch to gentler test solvent such as electrical contact
cleaner). Traditional gasket material shrugs acetone off, as do the
fuel line hoses I use in lieu of traditional vacuum hoses, but may be
too much for PRV.

For life of me can't remember why I started messing with it again.
Thanksgiving trip was totally uneventful, even at 28 degrees (DC was
in middle of cold snap). Must have been part of engineering on aux air
valve (did have idle bumped up that trip, which is where I got idea
for valve in first place).
