Hi all,
Since I put the new fuel pump on my BII it has been running very rich and has black sooty exhaust at startup.
I know this is usually a symptom of bad electronics or float on the feedback carb.
This brings me to my question, it appears that my choke is not working properly on my carb and that all of my original electronics are crapping out. I can't find the solenoid that goes on the back of the carb by itself online. Has anyone purchased a remanufactured carb from Autolite? The picture on Rock Auto looks identical to mine.
I would do the duraspark, but that seems to be complicated on an '85 and I have the A4LD I would like to keep the lock up converter.
On a side note the BII died on me driving today. I think the fuel system needs to be looked at again. I just put a new fuel pump in this past week. I'll confirm everything again soon.
