[Oregon Cab]

Yesterday at the suggestion of my tech, I poked the door to the AFM to see it swivel a couple of times. I pushed in what seemed to be a poorly seated #6 plug cap. I decided to verify that my wire to cap order was correct. I removed and reseated my cap. All looked in order and so I started it right up. To my suprise it roared clean to 4500 with a small sputter and fart instead of the customary 2900 with lots of complaining. I hopped in and took it up the street like normal with a small fart and putt only at 4300. Much improved. I quickly came back and parked it for the night.

Then this evening I pushed open the AFM flapper and with my finger wiped some black oily residue from just inside reaching in with my index finger. Sort of gassy oily not heavy or rocky. Dirty. I started it with the airbox off and it could barely start and idle with backfires, stumbles and putts.... worse than before I did all this work over the last 2 weeks. Could not even rev it to try to stabilze idle. I will retry a new relay but now I am really confused. Where di that gunk come from? I will pop the AFM off and carefully wipe it out with sparing bursts of contact cleaner.

WHATTTT?
