Subject:      AFM purchase
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Thanks to everyone who gave advice and comments on
the AFM problem I was having.  After taking it apart,
I moved the plate that has the carbon strip on it
about a millimeter to give it new purchase with
the contacts.  I also sprayed the thing down good
with QD Electronic Cleaner from NAPA.  I allowed
it to dry thoroughly, put the cover back on it,
installed it in my 87 GL and it still would not
work.  The engine revs up, then dies immediately.

So, on to plan B.  I'm purchasing a used AFM from
a list member.  But I must admit, the effort on the
old AFM was worth it for the education and
experience.

Thanks again!
