If you decide to stick with bronze, checking timing is important and so is the blocked bypass. One instant indicator of timing loss is a lower idle speed hot.

Yeah a call to Stahl is in order for tmrw for sure. I forgot about the nature of your first engine issue.

I think I (or maybe Rich) will call you about this. Thanks Todd.

Grunge died for a reason perhaps.
