Mark,
The only way you are going to get your car running right again is to
send me a couple of tickets so my wife and I can fly out and work on it.

Listers,
I am more than likely going to be calling on all of you often from this
point until I die, but that's the only way I going to learn right? I
have to
tell you, I've never worked on cars before (woodworking has always been
my
hobby)but I am determined and able to learn.
My car ('74 TR6) started acting funny (missing, backfiring and just
sounding
bogged down) shortly after I got it back to Hawaii. I had a mechanic
friend
come over and he adjusted the timing and all was fine for a day or so
and it
started back up again.
I then sent the list a request a week and a half ago (it never went
through
and I didn't resend) asking if it might be the carbs and if I should
rebuild. The car had been siting for some time, then driven 2500 miles
and
then sat for three weeks until I got it in Hawaii.
I wanted to take it on so instead of asking the people who know, I
rebuilt
the carbs. My rebuild stopped at replacing the needles while I wait for
the
adjustment tool from TRF... but I am very proud of myself and think I
did a
pretty good job but I have the same problem. The car won't start. It
trys
real hard, even grabs sometimes but it sounds horrible. I'm hoping that
it's just because the carbs aren't fully sync'd and adjusted but it's
sounding the same as before the carbs were rebuilt so I'm looking for
other
possibilities just in case.
Any thoughts will be appreciated.
Mahalo,
Mark Bullard
'74 TR6 (that's asking why she was brought all the way to Hawaii to sit
in
the garage)
