Royal PIA is an understatement!

Changing plugs, wires, cap, rotor, pcv, coil, air filter (and compression test) while I'm at it, today. Gonna adjust the carb next week. Trying to hunt down accurate idle mixture procedure ahead of adjustment next week.

Got it... thanks a million! On Jun 19, 2018 1:49 PM, "Gary Lewis [via Bullnose Enthusiasts]" <redacted_email_address> wrote:

Yeah the training manual also states that propane enrichment not applicable to GVW > 8500# - and I don'the see an alternative procedure for GVW>8500 in there either. Can I contact Bill Vose through Garagemahal member directory? On Tue, Jun 19, 2018, 1:39 PM Gary Lewis [via Bullnose Enthusiasts] <redacted_email_address> wrote:

Absolutely! Put me on the Member Map as Mojo in Oceanside, California.

Wow! Thanks for the quick reply, Gary! Correct. SECTION 4 of my 1986 SHOP MANUAL ENGINE/EMISSION DIAGNOSIS (VOLUME H) the Idle Mixture Setting Procedures (pages 4-82 and 4-83) By the way, 7thSon is the name of my Bullnose (7th generation F250) and my name's Joe. Thanks again for the effort! On Jun 19, 2018 3:44 AM, "Gary Lewis [via Bullnose Enthusiasts]" <redacted_email_address> wrote:

Looking for correct idle mixture setting procedue. In SECTION 4-Carburetors, Fuel Charging Assemblies and Throttle Bodies of my 1986 CAR/TRUCK SHOP MANUAL ENGINE/EMISSION DIAGNOSIS (VOLUME H) the Idle Mixture Setting Procedures (page 4-83) describe a propane enrichment method for "Truck, Under 8500 GVW: 5.8L w/4180-4V." However, my Bullnose is 8600 GVW: 7.5L w/4180C-4V and on page 4-82 it states ...Propane Enrichment Procedures Are Not Applicable For The Following: CFI Applications; EFI Applications; TRUCK OVER 8500 GVW APPLICATIONS... Problem is that there is no Idle Mixture Setting Procedure described anywhere in Section 4 applicable to my 8600 GVW vehicle. Since air cleaner assembly must be moved out of way to access mixture screws (allowing too much air), I believe a propane enrichment procedure is necessary to make proper idle mixture adjustment. Much abliged for any help with proper procedure - can't find it anywhere.
