Title: There is a moron amongst us.... ME
Post by: zozie on September 11, 2009, 04:35:54 am

Well I finally got around to changing my leaky valve cover gasket.... twice of course cause I over tightened the first one, breaking it... (should have got the rubber one but couldn't find one).
Then as I'm putting it back together, I was playing with the throttle lever on the IP and noticed something.... My sister in law was handy so I asked her floor the gas (diesel :D) pedal. My throttle was only only opening 50% ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
My IP was rebuilt last October by Giles and I did notice performance difference, but I never checked the throttle travel..... I had the car for 2 years.... All of a sudden it moves like a real car. I could now beat a city bus from the red light ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I"m very surprised ;D ;D I really thought the extra fuel from 100% throttle travel would only translate into more smoke but no. It moves very nice.
