Would love to get some hands on help in sorting out my MS2 project. I've got the car started, but am having trouble holding an idle as well as some kick back when starting.

I'll keep you in mind. I've got the car to start pretty well and the timing is close. Still working on idle, but will soon go out for a test drive to really see what's what. It would be nice to have someone look at the setup to see if it can be tweaked.

It kind of a freak. It's a 68 Alfa Romeo with a 4 cylinder 2 liter. I added an Eaton m45 supercharger. I had been using an Accel DFI ecu for the last 8 years, but wanted to upgrade to something a little more modern. I had trouble starting it again today, but once its running it seems good. Drove it up and down my short road with no problem. It dies when i let off the gas. I'm going to see if I can adjust the throttle stop to open the butterfly a crack. It seems that the idle screw isn't allowing enough air through, eve though it would idle when I was running the Accel system. It also kicks back when starting. Not sure if the timing is too advanced or retarded while cranking. By the way, I'm using MSII v3 board and using Tunerstudio for tuning.
