Re: Penny

I've been working more on getting Frankentruck's transmission rebuilt, but the weather was really nice this afternoon, so I decided to work on Penny a little bit. Double checked the spark plug wires, found them to be good, cleaned off the plugs a smidge, and backed the idle mixture screw off some. Finally, the engine idled, and actually idled fairly well. I definitely still need to do some more tuning, but actually can now that it will stay running for longer than 5 minutes. More progress sooner rather than later hopefully
