Weird idle at diferent temps, I give up! 140-160 72

posted by  someone claiming to be Anthony on  Sun Sep 16 02:37 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hello.

I took the carbs off a few weeks back cause th carb-gaskets were leaking. At the same time I also took my dizzy apart to replace the points and condenser. Well, the timing has been set by driving it and adjusting it so it won't ping.

OK... here is the problem, the engine idles rough when first started, idles well during warm-up and operating temp, but as soon as the temp goes above the operating temp by just a little- or stuck in trafic, it will idle rough and will die out shortly.

I tried adjusting everything...but it just doesn't seem to get better, so I'm giving up and turning to you guys. Oh, I've hoked a vacuum guage up, the needle goes up and down realy fast +2, -2 really fast. Could it be a bad valve?

Thanks!
