Here we go.
1956 235 timing at tdc is 0, starts and runs at about 1000 to 1200 rpm idle with 1/4 choke. Push choke all the way in or no choke and it shuts off. No backfire, miss or other distrib. problems, plugs are new and gapped correct as are the points. Has a carter yf that had a kit put in about 6 months ago. When shut off, carb smokes as if it still is getting a little fuel.
I'm thinking it needs a new float in the carb and that the float is not sealing off. Maybe back timing off 4 degrees tops. The engine has a little bit of a hotter than stock cam, but that idle is still way to high. Stock idle was around 475 I believe?? Any ideas? Thanks for your time.
