Well, the carbs were all completely rebuilt. So I guess I'll recheck the
timing, dwell etc. -Maybe I bumped the distributor at some point. If that
doesn't work, I'll readjust all of the carb/linkages from scratch. -I'll let
you know.

dave, a young lady in our car club has a tri-carb that idles so smooth it
baffles me. the motor is not new and the carbs do not look like they have
been worked on in years. i leave then alone when i work on her car as they
work fine. my own bj8 does not idle well as it seems to lope. i suspect
my
problem is that i need a distributor rebuild, which i am checking into at
this time. hope you solve your problem. healeymanjim
