gsl problem
I have a 84 gsl that starts but I can't get it to idle any higher that 3500 rpm's. It runs but very very slow and only stays on with idle at about 1500 rpms. Does it seem like a timming issue or a bad engine? Thanks

Check the fuel supply first. If the fuel filter hasn't been changed in a while, change it, it's less than $5. If that doesn't help, check your fuel supply at the carb. Check both pressure and flow.
If those are good, check timing. Make sure the plug wires are going to the right places. If that checks out, check the compression on the rotors.

If all that checks out, look in the FAQ for carb troubleshooting and driveability tips.
