86 sammy wont idle??
« on: June 10, 2007, 06:17:33 PM »
HEy guys!

Went for a little offroad drive today! Sammy was running great. Its a 1.3 with a pony carb swap. Back to the Q. But when i stopped at a light it quit running? Started up but would not idle? CAme home checked my hoses. Pulled the carb of and put a new gasket on. but still nothing. Pulled the plugs. 3 seem a little dark and one is tan? Pulled the wires of when running to see if maybe a dead plug. but that was fine. Checked to see if my brake booster was leaking but that was good. what are the chances that it might have jumped a tooth on the timming? Im lost please help..

Tom
