Howdy all,

OK: Have fluids and plugs changed on the newly acquired 87 244. Plugs were pretty foul, but don't know how long they've been in there. But when I picked her up last night was all I could do to give her enough gas to keep her going. Once warmed up, she drove the 66 miles home. Same this morning, trying to cut out, even when pumping or giving steady large amounts of gas. Kept her going though, and once hot she idles perfectly and stays on.

Have no repair records on this one, so where would y'all start looking. AMM, throttle body, ...?

Again, don't know what I'd do without you all. Going to tackle flame trap and breather box tomorrow.

Thanks so much,
Hannah C.
