LBC Gurus...
So, my A is back together after the head gasket adventure.
It runs well but idles miserably...
I used the ol' pulling the spark plug wires (the SHOCKING experience) to see which cylinder is bad and found that 1 and 2 cause the engine to run worse... 3 and 4, however, made little to no difference, although the spark from the cable to the plug is nice and sharp when placed in proximity to the top of the plug
....
I pulled the #4 plug, put the cable on it and set it against the block, and started the car to check for spark at the electrode.. nice and sharp, replaced and then repeated on the #3 plug, same result.
I am VERY suspicious of the rear carb (that <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">in general</span></span> feeds #3 and #4 cylinders.
I have tried to adjust it to see if there is a change in condition... to no avail....
Any suggestions????
