Florida Mike (again)
Recently, the 1986 X1/9 starting to sputter and white smoke after a five minute idol.
I checked the timing the timing was way off, + by a lot. I reset the timing back to +10. I drove the X and it drove fine for a few miles and again it started acting up, sputtering, no power and smoking.
Could this be because of bad gas? Or, the timing belt (which was changed out prior to me owning the X)???
Don’t know what to do and at the end of my rope right now.
This did all start after I filled up with 89 octane non-ethanol gas.
Any suggestions would be greatly appropriated.
Thanks,
Mike
