Hmm, mine idled badly before I started working on it. Even after I got it running it was still rough. A carb rebuild, and I found out my plug wires were way off somehow. Vacuum line replacement helped a lot too. I had a new shutter valve installed, but it's vacuum signal is screwy, so it can't be hooked up. About every three seconds it would close suddenly and make the engine jump like a really bad miss. I also had a bad ignitor, so yes that is a distinct possibility!! Wish I had kept the old one, but the shop kept it instead.

Thanks for the compliment btw!
