Hey guys - I'm hoping that kimcrwbr1 sees my post as I have been reading all his posts about this and I am sure he can help me.
I have a 1985 Bronco II....just completed the duraspark. Removed all the computer wiring, installed the felpro gasket, have #42 jets in my motorcraft 2150, and I am using the stock TFI coil.
The bronco starts up and it runs for a few minutes - it ran long enough that I was able to get the timing set to 10 degrees. It runs/idles smooth while it is running but then after a few minutes it shuts off and is really hard to start. It will roll a couple times and then blow a little smoke out of the top of the carb. I can't keep it running long enough to properly tune the carb. I currently have the idle air at the 1 and a half turns out.
I suspect I have a carb issue - but I am unsure how to proceed in my troubleshooting and would welcome any help I can get! I know I am close, can't wait to have my rig back on the road again.
Thanks for taking the time to read.
