Re: problem to start
Sal, FYI, curiosity got the best of me and I modified my ecg today per Teds instructions. Engine runs the same at idle and 70mph. Filled up the gas tank so I guess I’ll check the mpg the Next time I fill up with non ethanol gas And I’ll get back with the results. Thanks for your input.

Re: problem to start
Update on my mpg, filled up yesterday and calculated the mpg and it’s 15.26. I checked it 10/13/20 before I modified my carb and it was 15mpg. Not a significant gain but it’s a slight gain. I’ll check it again on next fill up. My driving consist of approximately 75% highway, 55-70 mph and 25% around town, 30mph.

Re: problem to start
MADE IN CHINA
So yesterday afternoon (SAT) I go to adjust the rear drum brakes on a 2005 TAURUS. It's bad enough that they are a PIA as they are MAZDA design. Find a slobbering wheel cylinder. Check NAPA online and they say theirs is USA ([photo shows appearing as WAGNER). The old lady goes in to pick them up, open the box and MADE IN CHINA. It is getting so you can't beat the new system.

Re: problem to start
Hey, hey! He said he's for "buying American". So it will be American brands made in China.

Re: problem to start
Well, I finally tricked myself. I thought the NAPA cyls were USA made but only the photo showed USA.
