Just a quick update: plugs are clean, nothing out of the ordinary. :) I went ahead and disassembled the carb - god my hands still reek of gasoline. There was no bad dirt buildup or anything else I'd rate as "not good at all" but the gaskets were all heavily squashed, some stuck to the metal...

Thanks for the video, I'll have a go at my Edelbrock tonight.

Just annoyed my neighbors with yadayadayadayadayadayadayadayadayada-wrooom sounds on a light Sunday evening. :) Your test worked; well, partially. It works somewhat while I more or less constantly pump a little bit on the gas. The engine isn't really idling or in a state that it could actually...
