Hi all,
I have on issue since dropping my transmission and replacing the front seal on it.
My BII sat on ramps for about two months front wheels on the ramps, back on the ground so I could get to the transmission.
When it became time to start it up, it wouldn't start. I used a jack to let it off the ramps and have all the wheels on the ground. I used some starting fluid to get it going since I guess all the fuel had drained back to the tank, and finally it began to run. I assume I was able to get the mechanical fuel pump to fill up the carb bowl and it ran on its out.
Now I have a very fast idle, I don't have a tach, but it running very fast when in Neutral or Park.
When I shift to a gear the trans will lug the engine down some, but it still seems to be running to fast.
I am guessing this might be a vacuum leak? I'll look over all the linkages and stuff this morning.
Any tips on where to start?
