I used 3X for years before they got so expensive. Tried some others, settled on Autolite 3076 last year. So far, so good.

I just bought four W18’s tonight, and our NAPA store surprisingly had them in stock, $10 apiece.

"Could be the Jets"
- Dennis Wilson, Two Lane Blacktop

I noticed our A was running rich cuz I'd have to turn the choke mix adjustment all the way in. So tore into the carb, which had been rebuilt for my dad by somebody (I was 800 miles away). All the jet sizes were out of spec, mostly way rich. Swapped jets around and now it's fine, mixture wants to be 1 turn open to start, then close down to 1/4 open when warmed up.

I have the Autolite 3076 in my AA and never had trouble. I don't drive it fast, but they stay clean and it always starts right up.
