O.K.,this time I took the carb. Completely apart. I pulled the accelerator pump,and it was wadded up,halfway around! On a closer inspection of the vacuum line at the carb. base,the union nut was split. I took the pump discharge out again,and buffed it up good.The "BB" is stuck,though. There was some paint on the intake manifold surface where the carb. bolts to,and I cleaned that up,too. I was in the process of removing the inspection cover,when a friend stopped by. He thought the (timing) "BB" should show up in the window on the driver's side. I bumped the starter,ONCE,and,there it was!! I took a long stick,sprayed some florescent yellow paint on the end,and carefully coated the "BB",and the timing mark. I was just getting the vacuum dialed in when it ran out of gas! The (Vacuum) gauge reads "Late Timing",no matter where I turn the "Dizzy". This was at fast-idle,before engine was warmed up. I was afraid it still wouldn't idle. Does this indicate I'm off a tooth?? Maybe that's part of the reason it won't idle??
