Got a reman engine for a 77 bus with a 2000cc. It starts on occasion but runs terrible and timing should be close enough to run better than the broken lawn mower that, it's running like. I checked to see if the intake gaskets (which are new) had any vaccume leaks to make the injectionsystem run rich....but they seem to be tight. I disconnected the cold start plug to eliminate extra fuel getting pushed into the engine and still won't start. any idea's???
