Hi - last year, my '76B (with '75 engine and single Z-S carb) died while I was
out driving and would not restart. Once back home, I managed to get it to start
but it runs very rough andgenerates some light smoke - not dense clouds, and
not white (like with a head gasket leak) but stinky none-the-less. I posted a
video here -

That gives a sense of idle roughness, if not the light smoke... The tach is
steady at idle.
I've replaced spark plugs and distributor rotor, as well as cleaned the
contacts in the plug leads. Just installed a new electronic fuel pump as the
old one crapped out. Lines are clearand fuel filter fills nicely. Carb was
rebuilt about 4 years ago and before the car died on me last year, the car ran
very well. I did open it up to check the diaphragm and floats, they are fineand
the carb was clean inside. Car has about gas, most from last year but with 2
gallons from today added.
I did not try to drive it as the brakes need to be bled....
I've changed jobs recently and now have time to get this car back on the road
and need some help as to where to start....
Thx,
Dan D'76B, '65BCentral NJ USA
