Of all the random censored words around here, and somehow pimp is ok. :idiot: It's not like it has a second, common meaning
In medical training it does :sly It means to ask questions of the student or resident, in front of others, allegedly to educate them but more realistically, to make the attending physician feel superior!
For your enjoyment, here is a typical article on the subject. https://archive.nytimes.com/well.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/05/26/doctors-getting-pimped/

Looked into Russ, most likely gonna send it out there considering y'all's horror stories with local shops.
The face cam was set like you said where it starts to ramp immediately off idle. My understanding is these pumps will naturally add advance as the pump plungers take more of a bite of fuel. It almost seems like the face cam is over-retarding, which wouldn't make any sense.

Also did my best to confirm the throttle cable isn't screwed up. Will check it again. Even working the pump arm manually it seems messed up though.
400 is a good price if its a local shop with a good rep.

Will consider it then, putting it off for the time being. Managed to get most of the power back after rewiring the cold advance to FSS power and retarding the static timing so that she doesn't sound like a can full of rocks lol. Definitely a bandaid, but don't plan on putting too many miles on it over the winter
