Arthur--
Good advice. Actually, he says that since he cleaned the carbs AND fixed
the timing problem, his car now runs better than mine. But I intend to
listen to the French & resist the temptation to tinker with the carbs.
Got plenty of other problems to tinker with first.
Thanks.
Ian

Ian, after reading about how he first attempted to solve the problem by
rebuilding/adjusteing the carbs, I again thought of an old addage.
"Carburettor is a French term meaning 'DO NOT TOUCH.' "
I have found over the years that the solution to the problem that he had
is
usually due to the ignition system electricals or vacuum.
I guess it must be human nature to first have a go at the carbs since
they
are somehow "mysterious." Me thinks that we must all resist this impulse
and
check out everything else before touching the carbs. My 2 cents. Cheers.
