I get a LOT of vehicles brought here with similar issues and often there is a little "creep" in the timing curve allowing some timing that doesn't fall out when the engine comes back or tries to come back to idle speed. This makes idle tuning and engine speed control difficult if not near impossible.......Cliff

Agree, Timing and how the advance curve is set-up can cause lots of "ASSUMED CARB ISSUES". The use of very soft Mr Gasket "HOT ROD" springs being one of them. Touch the throttle and you get a big leap in timing. (engine rpm)
