Just catch him at the end of a hike when he's worn out. He's much less prone to alarm.
I love to pet him, his fur is so soft yet not fluffy like a poodle...
Mal,
When I think timing I think spark advance.
are you talking maybe the timing chain jumped a tooth, assuming overhead cam.
But wouldn't that affect all cylinders?
I'd go in steps with the easiest or known problems first.
If the gas is known bad, then drain, purge, change filters, and refill.
Try firing it up again.
If the problem remains, maybe some sea foam, then swap injectors and hope.
Fess up, you just wanted to use your new external torx socket set again.. ;)
Oh, and I'm not sure standing there watching you and Andrew work qualifies as "help"
Amazing how many of the signers are business owners in Moab that directly benefit from the people who come there specifically to off-road. Talk about biting the hand that feeds them..
A little more complicated (but not much)
Mix half ground pork and half ground beef. Make 1/2 lb patties. smoke over apple wood at about 200f for about an hour.
smoke is my friend.....
(not that smoke!)
Recipe time.....
Simple is best.
Wrap a large Russet potato with two pieces of your best bacon, then wrap in two layers of heavy duty foil. throw in the coals of a campfire for most of an hour then enjoy.
These left over make the best fried taters.....
