Re: it was the relay! i think! 200 79

"Honestly it sounds like you 'played' with the headlight brights relay. But again I'm not familiar with'79. hopefully someone will jump in here and help out."

I dunno about helping out, but the K-jet system also have a smaller metal-cased relay mounted next to the hi-lo relay. This other (3-legged) relay is for the frequency valve. Sometimes the connections get cruddy and the engine runs just as cruddy (extra lean, I think).

Unplugging-replugging that PIA relay always helped my various rustbuckets. I finally cleaned all the connections and greased 'em up.
