    Hey everyone -- truck passed safety inspection & runs but uses A LOT OF FUEL; it idles about 900 RPM -- the distributor vacuum advance not working the actuator diaphragm gave up the ghost -- plugging the vacuum hose did not lower the idle speed -- O'Reilly's has a Acardone rebuilt dist on island $154.00 -- Anyone know if these distributors have mechanical advance in addition to vacuum advance? Time to as Scotty Kilmer would say get your timing light & REV UP YOUR ENGINES -- except it too might be broke ($÷<^%:35/)

    eBay has a 1984 D50 W engine dist vacuum actuator that looks similar dunno if it might work on my 1986 truck?

    I rebuilt my Mikuni carb and am thinking to just stop trying to become a mechanic -- initial ignition timing now set @ 8° BTDC -- fiddling with carb adjustment screws no help so far --

    Day 2 of opening tourism and Kailua beach is busy again, I wonder about Waikiki ? Last night saw two couples get cited on the beach by police on ATVs <--- ? Why I DUNNO ??
