[DMCForum] Fuel mixture too lean



Just popped out a couple of spark plugs. Ash white. Am definitely
running too lean (set fuel mixture the way Volvo boys do, but
apparently wasn't quite right).

All the pieces fall into place:
-Lower performance after CPR warms up (my ONLY onboard device
affecting fuel mixture, don't forget)
-pre-ignition in 100 degree sunshine
-HOT engine (ask anyone who races cars: "fuel cools")

May have been chasing vacuum leaks when I should have been twiddling
mixture screw. Will road test & adjust after lunch.

BTW: remembered during incredibly boring sermon (sorry God, but you
were there too and don't tell me you were exactly riveted to the pew)
what a BMC (Bill & Martin Motor Car Corporation) would look like:

When my fire department buddy went to Peru saw an old Chrysler
Imperial repowered with Toyota 4 cylinder of some ilk. Poor thing
couldn't get out of its own way. Engine huddled in bottom of
compartment like a frightened kitten. Am afraid when we go into
production that's what buying public will have to choose from.
