Not sure about the fouling yet. Will investigate.

However: now it backfires a lot...

Think I will go out and check float level now


Not sure how it can be a pleasure and back firing at the same time.

You might have a vacuum leak in the carb. But... You certainly need the right pressure and float setting first.

To get rid of the back fire, see if backing the idles out a turn will help first.

One turn out from seat, for me, only barely starts the car for a minute.But it is definitely a great starting point. Then you know both idles are at equal points.

It's certainly a combo of things to dial it in perfect.
