Oh wait everything works like a new 'Subie'...guess U have never driven a carb car with a misadjusted choke or an accelerator enrichment not working. I must have imagined that "popping" noise coming from the air cleaner. Even an out of tune FI engine will pop thru the intake and not from overly rich condition, but a LEAN condition. Whether it be a flathead lawnmower engine or some exotic pneumatic actuated multivavle engine, there are some basic concepts that both engines have to adhere to.

I'm a little familiar with DIS with the waste spark and you sarcastically bring a good point up. Strong work.
