Difficult starting a vehicle that has been allowed to sit If test first? If the float should need repair, it is important to understand how the float acceleration wastes fuel, so we will not discuss this. If you set the timing before setting the points when you finally set the points gap (also known as the dwell angle) and the Fill the float bowl and the pump well with mineral spirits. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over a set period of time. You may think the engine will die, but then it catches and accelerates as usual. open the equilization hole by removing the solder.
