What a coincidence. That is about 60 bucks more than it would have cost, if you had not bailed out of this thread.
In return for your $60.00, you missed the opportunity to learn how to diagnose and repair it yourself, along with the satisfaction that comes from doing it yourself.
The part that bothers me most is, that by bailing out, you took the same learning opportunity away from many present, and future vistors. Learning is, after all, why we are here.
Or, to put into a form, even you can understand: That $60.00 could have bought you a lot of beer.

I like how its "fuck you" when you don't need help, and "please help me" when you do.
Diagnostic theory is as follows. Most likely, to less likely. Certain systems in a carb have to be working properly in order for the other systems to work properly. You were halfway there. Just because you quit doesn't make it bad advice.
As for thread hijacks, look in the mirror.

Too bad he bailed out. It was a near perfect teaching aid, and we were just starting the parts that deal with, both, power and driveability.

So now how can I start working on my codes? Your mechanic can show you how. Right after he finishes setting up your carb for you.
What is your point?
