Seoul Seven

So as ive posted before about other problems with my rebuild, ive been driving the car without idle for about a week and half now to and from work, little trips, ect.

Im now convinced taht it is no longer a matter of "seals still seating".

Back Story:
Rebuilt Motor, re-used apex seals, new springs and taller corner seals.
New o rings and coolant seals. Took a week of fiddling to realize its time to push start the car 40mph. worked. Held idle at 1500~1300. No big.

started driving it the next day and would hold idle only for the first few minutes then sputter to its death.

Flash Forward:
Ive been driving it since then just left foot braking and not taking my foot off the gas. It starts right up everytime in the mornings and holds idle till i get near the freeway which is about 5 min. Which tells me im not getting enough gas when its warm? cause i cant start it back up right after. only if it sits for hours.

it looks like your motor has not fully broke in ...even if it has i would tighten up the throttle cable and hold the idle at 1200 for about 600-800 miles ...then after your break in search for vac leaks and go through

1..tps
2..thermowax
3..check bac
theres other options hailers may now about ...hes the expert

I did not have to hold the idle at 1200 for 600-800 miles after my rebuild

something else is wrong

Obviously something else is wrong. Which is why im turning to the fact i may be leaning out too much instead of compression.

Ive only got 200 miles on it so far and it starts up just fine cold. Not so much hot..


SO.

Car Starts up cold perfectly. Car Does NOT start up if hot unless i throw oil in the holes.
ive stalled after starting in the morning and it wouldnt start back up. wasnt warm yet.

I have purchased FCs that would not start or stay running including when hot, going through the basics and making sure the TPS is adjusted properly has always worked for me.
