[QUOTE="Cervantes, post: 8546, member: 611"] I read this and almost asked what you played... then I looked at your list name "JoeDrum" and kinda figured it out! ;-) What kind of music? After years of playing the guitar poorly, I am currently learning bass! :music2: :music2: :music2: So I went for a 10 or 15 mile drive, with my gad cap loose. It didn't do the outright stalling, and it was a bit easier to start after I shut it down half way through the trip, but it still really has a hard time keeping going at the low RPMs, and it hesitates when I throttle hard. And in fact, I noticed it seemed to skip a beat now and again even when cruising at high RPM. So I am thinking the fuel cap was a factor, but that I have another issue as well. I noticed when I test drove it that the plates had been expired for some years. (I think they said 2007). So I am thinking that I have some of those same "gunked up" issues. I will try the ATF, the idle adjustment thing, and perhaps the Sea Form and see if it continues to improve. I will keep you posted. It may be a few days before I know much because I need to burn through the current gas with MMO in it. But I will let you know. And any other ideas or suggestions are welcome! I am really hoping to not have to remove the carbs. I am still afraid of getting in over my head and beyond my mechanical skills! Thanks to all. Cervantes. [/QUOTE]
