Ohino

 

Ahhhh I've been looking at the options on rock auto for the 85. Not sure if my old OEM junk is better than a new cheapy.

I gotta low power issue which is good for not breaking parts and bad for breaking 40 mph on fire roads between trails

 

My dogs chase the cat too and he is a big wuss. I just let it happen, in my mind is it'll teach the cat more than the dog lol

 

That's kinda fun

 

Is your 85 an EFI model or carby? The carby dizzys are safer to get cheapo, the EFI ones like the corolla where it has pickups for the crank and cam position, and igniter, and a coil all in one are prone to failure or weird operation. I am kinda planning on dumping the corolla in spring and getting another BMW so this will just tide it over hopefully.

 

Ahhh getting a BMW for summer weather sounds great

It's propane carb. My vacuum advance also isn't hooked up but that shouldn't kill the power this badly.

 

Inb4 I find out I only have 50psi of compression total across all cyls

 

3.4 swap

 

Not having the vac advance is gonna kill a lot of power, why is is disconnected?

 

Nah, you're fine. The 22r is good but it isn't staring on 50psi with propane good.

 

no clue, I can't remember if it was like that or if I forgot to reconnect it after doing the VC and half moons lmao

 

You should hook it back up, it makes a big difference, especially with a fuel like propane that already kills a lot of power. Propane isn't prone to ping, so you can probably get away with more base timing too.

 

You have your second gen...are you buying another rig?

 

Yeah, it's been in the back of my mind.

My timing light was lost somewhere between here and Seattle

 

Im poor

 

it's like you've never heard of credit card theft
