Meet Tim. He is a local here. He was at Psycoblooie for the day in a yellow and
white bus. He has a problem and I sent him my suggestions. I have given him the
Freelists address to get in with us. Maybe we all can get him fixed.
I am on the road today, I have Chuck's Blue bus on the trailer and I will be
delivering it. Talk about service.

I am going to go shopping at my parents house for a dwell meeter and a remote
start button. I can not really keep the bus running long enough to get outand
adjust anything. I also read some stuff online about where it should be timed
and it is not where the muir book said. So i at least have some ideas to give
a try. I will give you a call after I have done these things.
Thanks for the help.

I am sorry not to get your mail until latenight. I am here in the morning at
435 1133 call me and maybe we can figure it out. If you set the static time
according to the Idiot's manual then it should start and run. Check for intake
vacuum leaks. Those will make it run really badly and not let it idle. Spray
some starter fluid near the intakes between the spark plugs. That should make
it change RPM or whatever. Make sure your sparkplug wires are tight to the
plugs. Make sure the wire from the distributor to the coil is good and tight.
If you have a single carb, make sure that all your hoses are connected tight.
If you zoom your engine and it backfires when you let off the accelerator, that
would mean an exhaust leak. That should not affect the idle, but who knows..
Check your fuel lines to the carb and into the fuel pump. Disconnect the line
from your pump to the carb and turn the engine over. You should get a steady
squirt. If you have no help, just point the fuel line away from the engine with
the engine door open and look for the fuel on the ground. It should be a good
healthy squirt. If you have dirt in the line that should clear it. Make sure
that you air cleaner filter is clean.,
Is that enough crap to do?
After you have done all that stuff and if you can keep an idle at all, loosen
the distributor clamp and move it very little at a time. It should make the
engine run better or worse. Pick the spot where it runs the best and mark it.
You may have a distributor that has moved out of the proper gear alignment.
Do all this and call me in the morning.

Hey man it's Tim the guy with the yellow bus in east springdale. I am
having some timing problems and don't know where to turn.
I replaced my trans axle and cleaned the motor. Now that it is put back
together I am having troubles getting it to stay running. I have narrowed it
down to what I think is a timing issue. However I have set the timing
according to the muir book.
I am trying to leave to go camping tomorrow around 5:00 so I am open ideas.
If you have a moment, give me a call I would like to see if you have any
ideas that will get it running. I will likely be working on it untill I get
something going.
my cell number is 479-530-6440.
Thanks,
Tim
