Re: Help... Starting Problems, Rough Idle, and Backfire through Carburetor
Problem solved. Threre were three issues causing the problem.
The carburetor gasket was blown. The backfire at the carburetor caused the carburetor gasket at the intake manifold to blow out. This was causing the rough idle. A new gasket fixed the the idle problem.
The fuel had water in it. When my dad and I pumped fuel into a cup there was a layer of water on top of the fuel. We had a lot of rain the night before I fueled up. I wonder if any got into the tank at the gas station? We put two bottles of HEET water remover into the fuel tank.
We took it for a spin and the engine stutered and stumbled under hard acceleration.
We put new spark plugs in and it runs like a champ now.
Thanks for your help, guys.
