Thanks Jack for helping send us in the right direction with tyler's bus. I pullled the afm out as it suspected to be sticking and indeed it was. The trap door is actually rubbing on the top side of the housing. I wiped the inside down and used a few drops of wd-40 on the pivot point on some on the ceiling? Of the housing where it was rubbing. I worked the door backing and forth and seems better but it starts to bind shortly thereafter. Anyone have any suggestions??? I know there isn't any real adjustment for that. Does anyone have a spare afm we could try?
I have my 77. that I am not currently using. not a spare per say, but as that my engine is in the basement I am not using it.
It would be awesome we could borrow it. We are trying to eliminate a sputtering problem and think the afm mght be the cause or at least a big contibutor.
I am part of the non Jersey faction of the club, I am in Roxboro, I work down near the airport. I have tomorrow and monday off.
Cool, I am just a few minutes off the Walt Whitman bridge. Pm me your # and we will try to get together.
Awesome, I will give you a shout either later today or tomorrow!
Yea that was next on the checklist. I wanted to make sure mechanicals were working first.
Make sure they are the same.
I should know what an AFM is... shouldn't I?
Professor Kessel... what is an AFM?
It means air flow meter. It measures air entering the engine and sends that to the computer and helps adjust air/fuel mixture on fuel injected engines. There mampsme attempt to explain. Feel free to elaborate.
