Aloha,
The car used to run great, never a problem. But recently I am having issues.
The car starts great and run smoothly, I start driving and have to stop at the end of the street at a stop sign (maybe 150 yards). When I start going again it runs rough, does it seems to be running on all cylinder, huge backfire and usually stall.
It then takes me awhile to get it restarted.
Now I had some backfiring before and I change the manifold gasket and also took apart the carburetor. So I maybe have caused those new problem (I also noticed that the carburetor did not have a gasket, which is on order now). The carburetor seems also to ooze some gas between the two half (could that be the issue).

I also took the spark plugs out and 3 of them were wet (gas) and one dry. Could it be a sticking valve?

As always, appreciate any help and comments.
Wish you all a great new year.
