3- 6 Ω
4- 0.27 kΩ

Obviously one is dead, one's OK, and the others are just strange. I'll get them replaced ASAP, and if that doesn't solve the problem, I'll do a valve adjustment.

To test the IP, I'd like to loosen the injector nuts-- what tool can I use for this? I guess I have to remove the hard fuel lines first? Can I twist that top nut that seems to be connected to the hard fuel line to test if it's pumping fuel?

Great you got her going, see it was something simple.
after you have this 240 for a while, you will realize how simple it really is to work on and keep going. not very powerful or speedy at 67hp, but really don`t need 300hp on these crowded freeways going 40 - 50mph.

Our 80 240, will start as soon as the GP light goes out. not as cold in Calif (as some places back east I know), and probably similar temps as Florida temps.
I do have the GP light blink on and off while Iam driving, so need to dig into that problem.

The water valve that is leaking on your firwall, I don`t think it can be taken apart and fixed. I was looking at mine, it has the metal body and plastic arms. not sure you can take it apart w/o breaking the old plastic. might be a lock ring on the ends and a "O" ring inside. but if you break it, still need the $50 for the new one.

I have one question. where did you find the OHM button on your Key Board?

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
