Congrats. Nice cruiser. Was this the moonglow pearl cruiser listed on craigslist? If so, score with the cloth seats.
Look first at intake hose from filter to throttle body and vacuum hoses. Cracks or leaks in those will cause lots of unmetered air and will cause it to die at idle.That's a good way to go about it!
Only thing that is preventing me from driving it is right now when I slow down or brake, I can see the RPM just drops until it stalls. Starts right up right after and if I keep giving it gas- it will keep it from stalling. That's my major one to solve at the same time to get the gaskets/seals replaced with fresh OEM fluids so I would be able to drive it once again.
yeah it seems short on the photo as the rubber covering was pulled off the sensor so I can try fitting the rubber cover back in place and it should give me some extra slack to see if I can try connecting them together.
You can try cleaning the knuckles. Don't do anything with the balls. There's a fill plug on the top of the knuckle to add grease. You'll have to remove the wheels to gain access. Get a grease gun with some moly grease.
No grease or oil is dripping on the ground at all- just a gunk of grease/dirt mixed on the bottom part of the inside of the tire.
Should I clean that off to see if it keeps coming out as it looks like it built up over time. The previous owner had a nice long driveway of dirt road leading up to their house so that may explain where the dirt build came up over the years.
I'll search this forum for more information on how to do the seals and repack the Birds and see if that is something that I am able to do myself.
No. If it clicks on turning then the birfield joint needs replaced. If you're leaking diff fluid through the knuckles then the axle seals need replaced.I just read up on that! The only way is to find out if the seals has failed is if it clicks on turning?
Don't have to remove the wheels to access the plug. It does help if you turn them to the left or right for better access, but still not necessary.You can try to clean up the knuckles. It's normal for grease and dirt to build up on them. There's a fill plug at the top of the knuckles to add grease. Get some moly grease and fill them about half way. You'll have to remove the wheels to gain access to the plug.
