Then I'm guessing it's probably close. They look a little rich and would be, because the correct way to do a plug read is find a long stretch of road, do a WOT accel through all the gears, cut the ignition off, coast to a stop yank the plugs and read them. So I'm betting they would read just about right. It probably runs good, no?Hey Rob..
Should have clarified...
Street cruising... maybe 3,000 miles
I own about 700 miles of that. Country road cruising. 45 -55 mph.
Spit balling the rest. Car only had about 2,000 miles put on it in 14 years... might be a lot of idling given the rotted out mufflers I pulled
That's what she said.Morning guys...
That came quick

What carburetor?It's OK... There's been a stronger gas smell under the hood after I shut down and will sometimes take a couple cranks to get going.
New cap, rotor and coil got rid of the hesitation and occasional stall on acceleration from a stop.
Picked up a rebuild kit for the carb... that's next
