Subject:New AFM, but still rough @ first start
From:John Runberg
Date:Mon, 5 May 2008 22:20:28 -0400

Installed a newly rebuilt AFM this evening and OH MY does the van
drive better. Org unit was not very drivable (no power,
hesitation...) and the "known good" temp unit hesitated just off
idle. Now, it's SOOOOO much better - best $350 I've spent in awhile.

But (and there's always a but) she still seems to run rough when
first started, warm or cold outside. Rev a few times and it settles
down into a normal lope (not perfect, but much better). To recap,
we've done cap/wires/plugs/rotor, found and fixed a nicked ground
wire to the dizzy, found and fixed two loose vacuum connections and
all grounds look shiny and good.

Next plan is to test the vacuum pressure and check the timing. Also
need to lube the dizzy (exactly what am I lubing in there?). Ideas?
