OK, well I thought that I had fixed it <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />. It will at least run now and I can get it to idle but not well. It still wants less air and more gas. The mixture screw is at 21/2 turns like it should be. What do you guys think about this idea. I was looking at the manual for my mityvac handheld vacuum pump amd it said this:
Worn Valve guides
Worn valve guides admit air which upsets the air/fuel mixture. The vacuum gauge reading will be lower than normal and will fluctuate rapidly in a range of about 3" HG. As the speed of the engine is increased the needle will steady.

These symptoms are alot like what I've got. I can't get the mixture right no matter what I do, the reading is low and the needle flucuates or shakes instead of being steady.
How many of you out there vote for worn valve guides as the cause?


It if wasn't for disappointment...I wouldn't have any appointments!
