I did a bit of maintenance on her today, I replaced fuel, air and oil filter. Changed oil, replaced flame trap, as well as exhaust manifold gaskets (one was leaking.) Also had little leak in exhaust weld welded back up. I also did a partial cleaning of the throttle body. Boy, she has a lot more power, and is significantly quieter. However, I had to twist the idle adjusting knob all the way shut to bring the idle down to a respectable rate. I don't have a tach yet, I'm guestimating about 2K idle. With the idle knob twisted all the way shut, I'm probably at about 8 or 900. How can I get her down lower? Is it okay to have that shut all the way? What do you guys think?

BTW, my dog loves riding in the cargo area, I believe its a big improvement over the back seat of the 244. Oh yes, the wagon also has the third seat. I also treated all the blue vinyl interior with vinylex. Enjoy your Fridays, Later.
