Hi all
been driving the 85 westi for a bit and have found it to be fine with a slight hesitation while driving but minimal. also it takes off fine if just a quick stop and go.
but when sitting at a light for more then like 15 seconds or more you can push on the gas and it acts like it want to just not move. very sluggish to get back up to
speed even when pushing in the clutch and reving it is a bit sluggish with no load. i do know the compression is fine as with the injectors and such i do know i
can turn the idle screw all the way in with out to much of a change in idle. i do have another afm that is modified with a capacitor that im going to swap back
into the bus and also check for air leaks again. any help would be great. thanks Jonce
