Thanks for the replies BTW. I adjusted the idle mixture for highest vacuum and idle speed is what I meant. I don't have a way to check even airflow at each carb so I've been doing that by ear.
I'll check the shafts. I did check them for movement but not with the throttle open, I guess there is a difference?
Interesting about the rotor, I guess I'm checking to see if the advance is getting stuck? That sounds like a good thing to look at.
