[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 387208, member: 3278"] How about we do something really simple instead? You can rebuild the carb and do all the things above if you would like but............ You should have a low speed adjustment knob on this engine. Turn it counter clockwise about 1/4 - 1/2 turn and re-run the engine. That should richen the mixture enough to run it. From that point, once the engine is warm, start turning that mixture adjustment back in in tiny increments until your running quality is where you like it. Too far and the engine will run lean and stall....too rich and the engine will run rough and smoke more than it should. Also..although that engine is a 1964 I would run it on a 24:1 mixture. They love it and you should not notice more smoke if you do the above tuning correctly. If the knob is really easy to turn there is a packing nut that surrounds the needle on the back side of the knob (behind the shroud). A 7/16 open end wrench is used to tighten that. Tighten it to where there is noticeable resistance to turning the knob. We want it to stay in place once adjusted. Let us know if this helps. [/QUOTE]
