torxxx Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 well if its a hitachi ea82, drill out the idle mixture screw.... try a 1/2 turn lean or rich and see what happens.. I had to play iwth my idle mixture after I put accel stuff on my 86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 bump your timing up alittle. The larger gap will sometimes retard the timing. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torxxx Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 brian.. which way to I turn my disty to advance, and can I do it iwthout using a timing light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 clockwise is to advance the timing i believe. And yes, it can be done without a light, just be careful. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
