Hey dd,
I just went out and checked and I couldn't here any clicking when the wire to the anti-diesel valve was connected or disconnected. I couldn't do it while the engine was running but the key was in the ignition and turned all the way clockwise. Should there be a constant voltage on the wire going to the valve? Or do I have to check for the clicking while the engine is running? I could put a brick on the accelerator.

By the way, I was able to get it to idle earlier but it's still very rough. If you drop off the gas real quick it dies, or sometimes just dies when stopped. I don't know the RPM because my tach doesn't work. I went aroudn the block, and stopped the engine when I got home to come in here to check this post. When I just went back out to check the clicking thing it wouldn't idle anymore. Just drops down and stops when the gas is let off.

BY the way, I think the float is OK. It's right about the center of the sight. ON your 3 step procedure above, I don't know how do you adjust the mixture? ALso what is a good starting point for the idle adjust screw? ALl the way in and then back out a couple of turns? I've messed with it so much I don't know where to start. And lastly, should the engine be able to idle without any pull on the throttle, or is it OK to adjust the throttle cable to give it some gas with your foot off the pedal? If I did that I could probably make it drivable at least (ie wouldn't die at every stop sign). But in general, shouldn't it idle without using the throttle at all? Thanks again for your help!
