Checking that engine light.
i emailed the guy who i bought the car from about the check engine light... this is the response i got.
Not to worry.
The original carbeurator (which you have) has an electronic rich/lean solenoid.
When I replaced with the new carb (without a solenoid), and the electrical connection
remained unplugged, the light came on to tell me that my emissions solenoid is not functioning.
I elected to cover the light with a piece of electrical tape rather trhan unplugging .
I am told that if I jumper the plug with a resistor, I can fool the warning light?
any body heard of it? any ideas?
