    Tear the carbs down. Metering block gaskets and the blocks themselves will get junky from sitting. The gaskets shrink and deteriorate from sitting after being run and then sat on the shelf. It's worth a look.

    yup..... carbs dont do well sitting..... they varnish up inside and the gaskets shrink..... rebuild all 3 and you'll probably be doin good
    just because your car is faster, doesn't mean i cant outdrive you... give me a curvy mountain road and i'll beat you any day
