Well not much time for working on the Econo today. I had to put new pads and rotors on my wifes Honda grocery getter. Of course this required a couple trips to the parts store and then I had to test drive it to make sure it felt alright. Now I'm running outa daylight.
I couldn't perform the carb spray trick because there is way too much wind from the fan.
When shes sitting there idling I tap the gas, then when the engine slows from that tap she stalls. Every time. I decided to make sure the points were set right so when I took the cap off I was shocked to see the points are already worn out. I just put these in over the summer and I can't have even put 1000 miles on since then.
I'm thinking maybe I shoud check the gaps on the plugs while I'm at it.
Any other ideas why these points wore out so fast?
