[DML] Re: Three brass screws (Please help, I broke my car)

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

#1 This IS the hole to adjust the mixture screw. The venders do sell a
plug but you can stick any cap in it to seal it. It MUST be sealed for
the motor to run right. The fact that it is not sealed means someone
messed with it and it will have to be reset correctly.
#2 That round plastic thing IS a check valve. Refer to the vacuum
diagraham on the engine cover.
#3 That is part of the radio interference package. Some cars have them
and many don't. Not all that important and you can add it.

Check the vent hose coming off the control pressure regulater. Make
sure it is not kinked or plugged up. Put the breather hose back on the
oil fill cap/breather. You are going to have to go over the whole
motor and vacuum system looking for vacuum leaks. You will never be
able to set-up the motor and get it to run right till you do. Once you
do that make sure all the systems are functioning correctly at idle.
Check the base timing, mechanical advance, and vacuum advance. Only
then will you be able to adjust the mixture screw.
