Question Re: ProwlerGT's 3000GT Revival Thread - Start Up

Struggling on 1st startup: After overnight 1st startup takes longer to fire

BTW - When I was putting the electrical switch back in on the left side of the steering column I noticed that even though you use that lil screw to hold the switch in that its a very delicate setup. The screw housing nearly stripped. You shouldn't apply much force at all when turning it in. I also noticed that there is some "play" in the housing where the switch fits into even after you've screwed the screw in. I came up with the idea to wedge something in the sides of it where there was space so that it would help keep it from moving. The PERFECT FIT is those lil plastic toothpick wedges!!!!! lol - I cut the bottom-handle ends off of 2 of them and pushed/wedged them into 2 spots where there was space using a flat head screwdriver flat side end and my fingers for control as I pushed them inward as hard as I could without hurting myself. Now the electrical switch doesn't wiggle in its housing seat at all and hopefully those wedges will stay in there over time.
