Mrs. Jones is running teriffic from my vantage point. No more particles of
gunk coming out of the tailpipe now that I've leaned out the mixture
somewhat. The other day, I was coasting down a nearby hill, using my engine
compression to slow the decent and I noticed a sound that I've not heard
before. Sort of a wet slapping sound out of the exhaust pipe. Intermittent
and not what I would characterize as a backfire, but more a (pardon the term
ladies) wet fart.
Can someone please enlighten me as to what this signifies, other than
perhaps that I need to add a few drops of Beano to my next tankful of
petrol?
TIA
Best wishes,
