Set the gap correctly, and then loosen the distrubutoir and rotate while idling until it start to slow down, then set it as far advanced as possible without slowing..a shade of over-rich also helps keep the valves cool. Running rich helps the petrochemical smog too. They all need scraping or at least banning from urban areas along with other heavy polluters (not CO2) like buses. Most buses can be hybrids, which is an ideal setup for their usage with brake regen, etc. In the 1950s the Germans used flywheels in some buses to clawback kinetic energy. Or buses can be just electric, which some are. Yep, older engines pollute like crazy. The secret is eliminating the piston internal combustion engine. It can only ever be dogs ear, no matter what they do to it. |
