I seem to recall this being discussed years ago on this board. Something to the effect that the platform was never rated for the load, etc. I would definitely do some triple checking before I cantilevered a load like that off the back.

That'll do it.

How'd you make out on the weekend?

Close the seacock, remove hose, spray in some Teflon lube. Put your hand over it or hook the hose back up and exercise the valve.

Looks pretty normal to me

Close! The fuel pressure regulator would cause the popping upon acceleration. It sounds like the throttle blades still aren't synced if you're getting surging at idle. Once you get above idle and the butterflies open, it's likely more balanced and that's why it disappeared.

Once you open the Dropbox link, scroll down towards the bottom and there is a download button.

I can't see it??

Heck yeah! Watched them all as well. Looks like you're almost dialed in! Great progress. Excited to see it move under its own power.

Sounds like you're close!

The one butterfly that doesn't have the idle stop touching, is the throttle blade closed? It looks more closed than the other.

Interesting.

Gosh darn! Just give them a $500 credit and call it a day. People are ridiculously picky.

You moving up??

Dang. I'm glad to see you're pressing forward. Looking good.

Is that thing running yet?? ☺

Tom - I understand all this. The point I'm trying to make is, there's no reason he has to break the gaskets on that motor to run this test. Go adjust the throttle blade opening using the cables at the shifter (or wherever he has the easiest access) instead of the screw on the throttle body.

I like your suggestion, however, I believe the TPS moves whichever way you decide to open the throttle blade - screw, cable, or tool.

OK, so why not do this adjustment using the cable and test the entire theory. If it works, great. You can take it apart and adjust the throttle blade with the set screw later.

I guess I'm missing something. Aren't we trying to set the base opening and then rerun the IAC calibration procedure?
