Re: [MBZ] B-52

Thanks for adding some color to that, I knew that but my email was wrong in that respect. I guess I just get so PO'd at the PC/revisionist statements in articles like that I stop thinking straight. I do love the comments about "when the BUFF shows up, many times the enemy will decide they don't

Re: [MBZ] San Bernardino

B. Hussein Obama said: "Rest assured, we will conduct a thorough investigation and we will get to the bottom of this". Doesn't have quite the same ring as "We'll find out who did it, and justice will be served". Especially when justice is served by a 500lb bomb. - Max Charleston SC

Re: [MBZ] 124 tach/idle speed

Pull the instrument cluster and test the signal at the Tachometer, same test procedure as you have used for the pick-up sensor. Disconnect the solenoid at the back of the injection pump and the idle should fall to the mechanical setting of about 500 RPM. There is a mechanical idle adjustment on

Re: [MBZ] Easiest fix

Yes, attend to those springs! If they have a cable run through the center to hold the pieces if the spring breaks, that is a good thing. I'd say don't bother trying to adjust them tighter, just replace them. Lowes had generic springs for like $20 a set. - Max Charleston SC On Fri,
