Her Name Is Frank

Last time I did that my truck ran like ass and I had to rebuild the carb.

I hate seafoam lol

Okay I now have a brand new cap and rotor, brand new plugs, brand new wires, and a brand new coil. The missfire is officially gone, but I am still having issues. I started the truck up, and it ran perfect. I kept it at about 2K RPM to warm it up a bit, then I started letting it down to idle. Once it got around 1500 RPM it started running rough, so I raised the idle from there and it still ran rough. Its rough around idle too, and is still emitting a black watery substance from the tail pipe. I pulled the air cleaner off, and there is a similar substance in the carb above the wing on the secondary. WTF is going on? If I let the truck sit for about 30 minutes it will do this same thing, but if I start it immediately after it runs rough right off the bat.

I also got the fuel dryer additive and put it in the tank.

I wonder if you got some bad gas?

sounds like its a hair outta time and running rich

I will check the timing once again, but I am sure its still correct since last week. Also my carb is not tunable, so if its running rich, I dunno..

Timing is probably fine... If you didn't touch it, Most likely still have some water in the lines, and will take a lil while to run it out. I would drive it up and down your street or keep it running with your foot on the gas about 2500 rpm for a while. Just a thought, try and clean it out.

Are you going to call and complain to this gas station? Causing a bunch of headache for you, and making you spend money you shouldn't have to...

The station is shutting down because a lot of people are having issues. Apparently someone has a blown motor in a classic Chevy. The local newspaper did a story on it last weekend.

i'm gonna just throw this out there - i hate engine problems. there.... i said it. everyone's thinking it and i said it.

run premium and add octane boost to it. Fuel filter? I know thats the OPPOSITE of rich, but IDK
