Hey Pat

Nope. Stock 21. WBX. 1988 Westy I purchased last week.

One possible factor in these results could be the ignition timing. I
played with it a little to see if that would improve the engine. Nope.
I'm sure the new cat, O2 sensor, muffler, tune up etc. helped.

The engine still misses a little but is better than it was when I got
it. I'll be checking FI spray pattern when I R&R the fuel hoses. (I
see original clamps + worm gear clamps. Ack)

@ Chris. Thanks man. Emissions testing was a minor concern as I bought
this rig w/o an inspection and it was never required to have an
emissions test here in BC. For all intents and purposes, it's never
had it's emission tested.

Neil.
