Some of the loveliness I found in the carb
Not sure if I should start a new thread or continue this one. So I've changed the plugs, wires, cap and rotor. I pulled the carb and rebuilt it....
So I just drove to get my daughter from school which is half day and half city driving. Freeway it was fine and sitting at stoplights it got warm...
