    Idling problems

Everytime you pull a wire off you should notice a signifcant change. if you don't, maybe you have...

    Is it even worth fixing?

    The question is... Is is worth it to you? Becasue to me, without a DD, not really. It will take loads of money, (that you will NEVER recover), loads of time, and in the end you have to be commited to the finish. If you have all of these things, and money and time is no object, then buy one...

    Spark plug change-Won't stay started

    WOW! Let me shake those off! Current status is that it starts, runs smooth for a few minutes, then it starts idling rough. Correct? Or will it not stay running and it dies? I know you have been frustrated by this.... Just goes to show, no good deed go unpunished! You change your spark...
