Hi Mark,

        Your message came through at least to me.

        I look forward to responses as I have a 84 with the same system.  

I wish I could give a good answer but  I’m still a mechanical learner!  
I do hear the helpful words from past posts.   Saying to me it is either fuel or electrons. 

Keep us posted on answers and progress.
