Subject:Parked Too Long, Won't Idle
From:Stan Wilder
Date:Thu, 7 Nov 2002 20:54:30 -0600

My Westy has been parked for about a month.
I got in today to make a grocery ruin and it started just fine and ran ok
but it died at the corner.
Restarted right away, drove it 500 yards back home.
Starts and runs but it won't idle.
Anybody got quickie fix?
Already:
Installed new points, condenser checked out ignition.(time anyway 10,000
miles)
Installed new fuel filter (time anyway 10,000 miles)
Afm advances OK (Took the lid off, it tracks ok).
I'm thinking axillary air regulator (got a few spares)
#3-#4 Injectors OK. Haven't checked #1 - #2 yet.
Poured in 8 oz Berryman B12 in fuel, about six gas in tank to catch
possible condensation.
