Carbking, Thank you. I had always thought that we are supposed to use the vacuum gauge to set idle and to seek the highest vacuum. I have the manual but I am a novice at timing. I have been doing it by ear during these days when I had to get the carb in order. I just remounted the carb. I believe the carb is now perfect. So I guess I have to go back to timing, right? First timing, then carb? I had to have the idle rpm's at around 850-900 to help me overcome the stalling issue. Hopefully, she will not stall anymore, and I can reset the rpms to around 450-500.

Carbking, could you elaborate as to the significance of my PG vis-a-vis the 'spacer'/gasket? I have only a gasket and it looks like just a standard gasket.

Bartamos, Thanks. If you had not mentioned it, I would have completely missed out on the advice given there.
