[DMCForum] Re: Out.

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe that your guy can help. I certainly don't take it as an 
insult. All I'm saying is that I'm at the end of -my- knowledge.

I did not adjust the rocker clearances as I did not remove the cams. 
I only removed the heads, checked for warpage, cleaned them up, 
exhaust gaskets etc.

If you think it's still worth checking, I'll get on it.

For what it's worth, I tried to start it a little later and it damn 
near caught. It was the strongest sputter I had yet. I just can't 
tell what it wants. More gas, less gas, better spark or what.

I've had trouble with that relay that reduces the ballast resistor by 
half when you crank it. I have spark, but...

Anyway, I'll take help where I can get it. Thanks.
