I will probably get hold of my brothers and split the cost of putting a new one on. It’s the family truck and we all use it so it won’t be awful bad on either of us singly.

Makes sense to lean the carb…
Never thought about it like that but… since fuel isn’t (recycled) leaning would make perfect sense!

With a computerized fuel system, how do you lean out the mix without some wiz kid with a million dollar programmer?

Fuel injection and the addition of complex computer systems have changed the game a lot. But many still do punch them out as it doesn’t always effect that like it did with a carburetor.

Plus fuel injected cars still have screws for air mixture. You can lean the mixture or make it richer.

I’ll hash that out with my brothers. Both are more gear headed than I am. I can work the heck out of the older stuff but when all this computer BS started I had other interests.
The pretty two legged kind of interesting stuff. And guitars…
I wish I had learned those skills a long time ago. But even if you know what needs done, a regular Joe can’t do much without the electronic equipment necessary.
And the cars STILL get about the same mileage… as the older vehicles. And taken care of, the engine will last just as long as the newer engines. So what was the point again?.. Oh yeah, to make sure the owner HAD to take the car to a shop to be worked on at $80 and hour!
