None taken Matt :)

I never have a problem with starting it in the mornings, but as of late its been more finiky. But my girl has never had to start it on a cold morning, I'm pretty sure she had too much choke and fouled the plugs. Once it died even I couldn't get it going. Up until the last month the idle was rock solid it never changed, even when I'd fiddle with the carbs or adjust them. Although I've had my problems with the carbs in the beginning when I first picked up the car.

I pulled the float apart and now no leaks so thats good, pulled and dried the plugs again and I almost had it going but no go. Called the tow truck, its pissing rain and I don't have a set of feeler guages so my mechanic will take care of it for now.

I need it running a.s.a.p. so I don't have the time to deal with it now, next time.

Thanks for the advice.
