Tell them it's good to have rotary friends with lots of knowledge and parts for when stuff breaks. That and we have free beer at all the meets... okay, not really, but you could BS them a bit.

The trick is not to mess with it unless you have to, bad timing can have ugly side effects.

well here is how it went...

I found the yellow and red marks on the pulley and as is I started it up and let it idle at operating temp then hit it with the gun! Well it was so far away from the 2 marks ( I marked the outer pulley and had to search about 15-20 degrees to the left for it.

So I adjusted it to be close to the middle of both marks and the idle is SOOOOOOoooooooo much smoother... was that all I had to do?? or am I missing something?

Wow, this sucks. So I did the whole de-flooding process until i thought there could be no more gas in the thing. Hooked everything back up and the first time I hit it i thought it was going to go and then............back to floodsville! I have no idea how it got so flooded. So it looks like I will be spending all of Saturday doing it all over again unless i can find someway to turn the car on its side with the plugs out!!
