I have not driven my 32 Ford Roadster V12 Lincoln powered for a few months due to my side engine rebuilding for customers. I have a small popping sound when I am driving than as soon as I am idling you can hear the exhaust popping a lot more and as I start to drive away you can hear it miss and popping more than it will somewhat go away until next time it idles. As any other carburetors I suspect that it is due to the idle jets clogged with some small dirt piece of some sort.The plugs look good I do run both carbs a bit rich here in Arizona do to the heat which is better than to lean. I know we have a lot of construction in the area possibly got a piece of dirt in one of the idle jets.

Thanks
Frenchy
