Re: trying to teach myself....
Hey Dad. You didn't mention it but we'll assume the ignition system is fresh or in good shape? You won't be able to get it to run right if the ignition is weak as in old plug wires, corroded terminals in dist cap and fouled up spark plugs, vacumn advance and centrifugal advance or base timing is off. I always make sure the base timing is right, advance right then move on to the carb last to fine tune it. I also use a vacumn gauge to set the idle mixture screws.
