    WEBER CARB backfire

    Mine did ther same thing. Ran fine unless I really got into it and then popped/backfired. I had bumped the timing too far to compensate for extra fuel and air. Dropped back to 11 degrees and problem went away. Mine does still run very rich, but EVERYONE that has one has said the same thing. -D-

    Black Smoke + Bad Milage = Upset Mike

    Obviously running rich. Since it is an 87 I am guessing it is carbed. May try adjusting mixture but it is only a temp. fix. Most likely need to clean and rebuild. -D-

    Factory wheel backspacing

    Well since I am a licensed vehicle inspector I can say, no, there are no laws regarding tire width. There is on lift. Headlights may not be more than 54" from ground, but I do not see it enforced, F250s running around here as tall as a house(almost) and nobody says a word. -D-

    Factory wheel backspacing

    Re: RE: Skiing Thank you. I am looking at going to a 3" back space but on a 10" wide rim. That should put me about 4-4.5"s wider and and with that on each side so 8-9" wider wil be nice and stable. -D-
