[Roadsters] 1600 tuning issues

[Jim Svedise]

The vacuum line to dist. also any vacuum lines on intake manifold. You can use
carb cleaner spay around intake to head carbs to intake with engine running to
see if there is any change in rpm.

Check motor for a vacuum leaks.





Hey All,
I just replaced my fried points, condensor, cap and rotor...plugs
too.  My 1600 was running poor and backfiring, alot of hesitation too.
Adjusted valves as well to .017 hot.  My problem is its still running weird,
backfiring on deceleration.  I have adjusted the timing as best as I can and
acceleration is strong, just the sputtering and backfires when backing
off...idle is not great either....its high at about 1100 rpm and I can't get
it lower.
Any suggestions as to tuning?
Thanks,
Roy Haslett
