Hi,
Need help with two things. First off, back in January I had a bad AMM. You guys helped me out then. I had a local shop {Naples, FL} put a Reman in, but I've gotten terrible gas mileage since and also when I start it up in the morning she doesn't want to take off right away. She'll stumble and will only crawl so I have to back off the throttle and let the revs build up real slow. But once It's warmed up there's no problem except for the poor mileage. B4 the AMM went I got around 18 mpg, now I'm lucky to get 12 mpg. Actually, I recall that the mechanic told me that it was running very rich and I think it still does. What can I check out to fix this problem? Second issue is the wiper motor. Mine stopped working and I finally took it off and opened it up. I found that one of the magnets in the motor housing is broken in two pieces. Is it worth trying to repair it or should I get another one. Thanks in advance for your help.
