I have an '86 that i bought a few months ago.
It's never really run perfectly yet. When i first got it, it stalled a lot.
So, i took apart the carb and cleaned the heck out of it. Definately ran better.
But, now it does something odd. If i sit at a traffic light, it will idle perfectly for over a minute, maybe even 2 minutes. Then it will start to bog down and, if i don't give it some gas, it will stall.
I can restart it, but it will run like crap. Then, the light turns green and I pull away. Come to the next light, and the process starts all over again.
But, it only happens sometimes. Sometimes I can stop and it will idle fine. And sometimes, it idles crappy.
I think it blows a little black smoke when it idles crappy, so I'm thinking it's running rich for some reason.
Something sticking in the carb? Why only sometimes, and why will it idle fine for a few minutes?
