Advice for new 90tq needed

[ed armstrong]

Hi gang,

Its been a while since I posted and I certainly wanted
this post to sound more upbeat like "Another 90tq hits
the streets!" but I've got problems and would
appreciate any input.

The bottom line is the turbo swap into the 90q is done
and it runs and drives ... but just barely. Tons of
smoke, no power, poor idle, spark plugs are fouled
after a few minutes. In a word, it running super rich
for some reason. Strange thing, is that I'm using the
stock CIS fuel distributor and it ran so good before
the swap occured. Here are a few details:

	- Stock CIS-3 fuel and ignition
	- MC-1 turbo with new pistons/rings/bearings
	- head with new valves and seals
	- new plugs and cap/rotor
	- used injectors with new seals


I've done the simple things like verify timing (static
and dynamic), check for spark etc but its still
running bad. I actually expected a lean condition from
some minor air leak with all the renewed vaccum
plumbing the swap entails. I never did anything with
the fuel distributer while it was out of the car. It
was just lying around for a year.

Does it sound like the mixture needs adjustment (does
anyone know off hand with direction to turn the CIS
adjust screw for more lean ?) ? Maybe cold start stuck
"on.". Could bad gas cause this condition (1.5 years
old in the tank). Maybe I just need to run it some
more to break in all the new valve seal and piston
rings etc. ?

Thanks of any input!
