Default Re: Ruff Idle problem

I put on another carb yesterday and it did not make a difference-still same problem. Put my old "B" carb on today-still the same problem. But what I did not do was to put a new gasket between the carb and intake manifold-use the same old one every time I put on a different carb. I think I will order a new gasket and see if that helps

Also today I tried to clean the spark plugs which were black with quite a bit of crud on them. I used an old tooth brush to clean them. Anyone have a better way to clean plugs? Spark plugs cleaned still did not help the problem.

I also used a different distributor body, cap and rotor. Did not change out the points. This also did not solve the problem. So only thing I did not do with distributor is change out the points and condenser. May try that.

Anyone have any other ideas as to what to do? I still have not taken it for a long drive yet-typical Oregon weather-rain! Could it be sticky valves?
