Neato, huh?


At very low vac levels, the CB may let off.
But it doesn't matter because within 1-2 minutes of startup the choke will be manually turned down to the point where it is not effected by the CB.
Thanks for the help, Jim. I'm half way tempted to drive this 60 to Ohio and pay you a visit.

I have the emissions manuals and have a hard time figuring out which way the VCVs are supposed to go. Are you saying it is supposed to be the opposite of how the manual shows it (with the green side away from the vacuum source and towards the choke breaker?

It would also help if I knew how to interpret all those diagrams in the FSM- I've been studying them for 6 months and they're still Greek to me.
