I'm No Mechanic
Perhaps I shouldn't feel so bad, at least I tried. I just tried to do a tune up for the first time in a few years on my 84 shorty. It ran decent before, and now, it won't stay running at idle. When it's revved, it sounds fine, but won't idle. I tried to adjust the idle on it, but no help. The kicker is, sometimes it will run, but if i turn it off and turn it back on, it will do the same thing. I believe i have a vacuum leak somewhere, but i can't find it. My firing order is correct. I changed the wires, plugs, pcv, dizzy cap, and rotor. I tried to take it to a local lube shop that does tune ups, and they didn't know how to work on a carburated engine. I'll have to find somewhere that can figure out what is going on. I don't think it's serious though. The good part about this is I had my dad on the phone afterwards trying to tell me what to check. Funny, I didn't want to learn when he tried to teach me as a kid. Live and learn.
