Thats a tough one you have there mike.I say wait and see if the gasket solves it.Some times a leak is all these cars need to give you a headache.Keep us posted.

My bad on those solenoids, I didn't research them. I thought the coasting richer

solenoid was a anti- dieseling valve. (cuts idle fuel circuit when key is off)



are these carbs reman(s) or "Just laying around"? it might be wise to remove the Idle mix screw and blow compressed air through it before removal. Then try for idle.

If not, then I guess it's gaske time.

one was the original, the "new" one had been sitting around for a long time. we pulled the one one apart and the idle circuit works
