[DML] Re: VIN 5326 started

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You don't get the PRV running by "adjusting" things. If it is not
running right then it usually means you have to replace or clean
parts. "Ajusting" the O2 sensor (I assume you messed with the mixture
screw) only caused you to lose that adjustment. If it won't start than
you don't begin by messing with adjustments. Start with finding and
fixing vacuum leaks. Next have the fuel injectors cleaned and do a
tune-up replacing the spark plugs, ignition wires, cap, rotor, and air
filter. NOW you adjust the mixture screw on an engine analyzer. In
fact that is the only thing to adjust unless you also messed with the
3 brass screws and the tiny screws on the micro switchs by the
throttle spool. Timing generally is "right on" or close enough not to
need adjustment. You do have to make sure the mechanical advance and
the vacuum advance are working though. If it is smoking a lot pressure
test the cooling system to find any leaks and do a compression test on
the cylinders to see if it has been overheated.
