Everyone is right, Vance said "no vent lever" he was right.
Mark said "has carbon canister" he was right
Vance said pull the *^&&%^%$*))_ carb and check the float level ...
he was right.
I stupidly attempted to change the float without removing the carb
... big mistake, I bent the lever to match the one I removed ... I
bent the wrong lever ... I am now going to go eat a worm and die ...
:-[
Sooo ... carbs are adjusted, synchronized, and on the test run the
6 is running like a 5!!
Back home again with my handy dandy "lights up when the plug fires
tester" I check all the plugs ... #6 is NOT firing ... pulled the
plug wire, tested with ohm meter ... open ... >:-o I will replace
that wire and then inform you of the results ... assuming I don't
decide to just drive off a cliff ... if I can find a cliff ... :-/
