Had about an hour drive today.
I think it still needs to be tuned in a little better.
Here's a couple of stickers just put on.
I'll have to keep bugging Steph or get more elsewhere. :)

The ''HONDA'' font does let it down, doesn't it?

In fact, the more that I look at it, the more it's wrong.

Acceptable in passing, but just doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

JMHO, of course :roll: :lol:

I noticed my car is giving off quite a bit of white smoke on cold start up. Is this built up condensation or is something else going on?

The carburetor and timing have not been dialed in yet :)

Here's a quick update:
Hondastuff and I set the dwell and played with the timing and
idle speed. The car is still not quite tuned in yet.
The idle is now more in the normal range.
Timing is slightly off (slight popping sound coming off of revving in neutral
at approx 3500-4000 rpm) and the car now likes to stall coming to a dead stop.
It is difficult to get it to restart after the stall.
We didn't play with the idle mixture screw as it was getting dark out.
I started the car from a dead cold start Saturday morning.
The fast idle was approx 2500-2800 rpm. It has an automatic choke.
I took a video of the cold start and to my pleasant surprise NO SMOKE!
Any tuning suggestions would be appreciated.
It has an EF bottom with an ED3 top and Accord carburetor. :)

Bob, do you still have points or an electronic ignition? When I still had points, I had two of those symptoms (timing off and hard re-starting). When I converted over to the Pertronix kit, both went away.
