OK, the air plate goes down very easy. It closes up slowly when I release it.
The gas line from the fd goes to the front of the engine next to the thing that the throttle rod goes to. This little "box" has an elec connector and some vauum lines. What is this? Is the pump by the gas tank the only fuel pump or is there one on the engine? Thanks.
