Seems to run fine. But since it is really cold out it will be spring before I really get it out much. Thanks!

I sure enjoy modern engine management. ;) Alvin (TopDogRover) I have 5 of 15 1980 SD1's parting out if anyone needs parts!

I did my TR-6 by trial and error and I think it took about 6 months of fussing til I got it close to right. Good luck.
