Seemed to run pretty good...a little sluggish compared to my Dodge Ram 1500 lols anyway the second light I stopped at the engine quit running!! Started her back up and ran until I stopped at the next light and it died!! Limped into work. Popped the hood and found that the screw that adjustd the idle speed GONE!! Searched around the engine compartment without any luck finding it. Found another screw that after a few minutes of "Improperly verbally addressing it" got it screwed into the armature. Started her up and it was belching black smoke everywhere!! Looked like a locomotive!! I hopped in and away we went. About 5 minutes into my drive home it started coughing, sputtering and all at once it cleared up and whooo-hoooo!! hold on to your shorts!!! This thing was running like a raped ape!! Im thinking that a bunch of old carbon from it just sitting around for 6 years and the combination of all the gas being forced into it as I was fiddling with the armature on the carb caused this. According to the speedo on the way to work the best I could do was 45-50 mph but on the way home after the "convulsions" 60 and up!! Im sure the speedo is off since Im running 31x10.50-15s but WOW!!!
