I'm certain it is nothing personal.

Have a look at what you are asking for though. You have not asked a question, you have asked for someone to come and fix your motorcar for you. If you had asked for some advice such that you could fix it yourself then I'm pretty sure you would have received plenty of answers. I'm not sure I'd expect someone to show up and fix my Amazon if I couldn't be bothered to do it myself.

Good fortune Adrian.

Hi,

As others have mentioned, it was a bit of a vague "question". Are you saying you want to have go, but would like someone with you to assist? I'm always extremely busy, so not sure I'd be happy to take a day out for something like this for free.

And if you're looking to both travel and potentially pay someone to help, you're not far off just taking it to a garage.

Which exact engine do you have? How do you know it is running rich?

Regards,
Henrik Morsing

Hi ,it is k jetronic injection B200E 1989..only 83k And almost rust free..i can do most things myself but not the tuning up etc although i have fitted new injectors, plugs, oil change, volvo filter. new steering pump. got to do engine mounts next,, ,have also waxoyld all doors and all electric's sorted, Previous owners just botched a few places here and there with glue but all put right, and both front seats stripped glued new material on sponge and refitted with lumbers all working...so all in all a great looking estate for 34 years of age,,But running rich with wobbly engine but slightly better when warm.. I am not confident enough to sort engine so would like an expert to do it for me and possible learn from them....i can drive it to who ever is available and stay somewhere over night if needed....!!! regards Adrian.. i also have a H glt saloon and another F gl estate which runs very well..!! my mechanic mate said it is running rich because the plugs where black ish when i changed them...he says he does not know these engines to work on them,, old school i think he means <<
