Thanks for the info. There are no knobs in the car, in fact there was no cluster, HVAC controls, relays, horn button, or vents inside. It was also missing the headlights, front turn signals, grill, and LF fender. It’s been a journey with this thing piecing it back together. Pulling the cold start out doesn’t really seem to do much of anything, but then again I keep forgetting to pull it out on cold start.
The PO’s friend “rebuilt” the IP, so I’m guessing I need to make some adjustments with it as I doubt the adjustments were done correctly. Seems like they were done more by “feel” than measurements as he told me he never intended to use the car on the road, just around his farm, so he didn’t care about the smoke. Once I got a new glow plug relay, the car starts well, just need to make adjustments.
Is there a rule of thumb for adjusting the fuel screw? I have backed it out and noticed the idle drop, but just didn’t know if there was a basic setting (number of turns) from the collar as a good starting point. I have noticed that due to how rich it seems to be, it doesn’t take long to create soot spots on the ground (the PO also cut the muffler off at the rear axle, so the exhaust points to the ground; I have the muffler, just need to weld it back on).
The car appears to have been taken care of earlier in it’s life, but then has been robbed of parts by either the PO or the person before that, so trying to put it back together to make it roadworthy at this point. I’ve since acquired most of the parts I need to get it back on the road, just need new tires at this point.
