Subject:      that ol' AFM, or Lufty's getting old
Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"


The post month I have been experiencing a worsening hesitation and stumble
at various throttle positions. I swapped spark plugs and made sure of all
sensor connections. That didn't work, What did work, again, doh, was
spraying some "MG Chemical Contact Cleaner" on the old carbon track of the
AFM.


Solved the problem immediately.


Just a reminder, they are all getting old. One day I will have to buy
another one or struggle with those 4 screws that hold the track in place to
shift it to a slightly new location. But those screws are in there tight.
