Trevor:
My 71 B has ping and run-on with regular (even a little occasional run-on with
premium). Just had the head reworked, so I know it's not carbon. I wonder
what's different between your 70 B and my 71 B. My TD, on the other hand,
never pings on any octane regardless of where the timing is set. Also, when
the ignition is turned off, the TD's motor stops very smoothly. The B's engine
stops abruptly with an occasional kick. I dare not cut the ignition with the
choke pulled out, that causes some serious run-on.
