To follow along with Marlin and JT....

 Remember the the story of George Holley and Henry Ford working with the first “iron pot” carburetor in Henry’s lab in Dearborn, MI......

Henry Ford:

“ Goddamnit George, this stupid carburetor is not adjusted correctly!”

George Holley

“Henry – if I’ve told you once, I’ve told you 1000 times - 90% of “carburetor problems” are caused by the ignition! 

I have have seen this myself - not the discussion, but chasing probs in the carb caused by ignition issues

 ...Sorry, I can't resist. Most people don't know, that way before George Holleys' First Single Barrel Carburetor; at the Dawn of a Internal Combustion Engine, ever Powering a Four-Wheeled Vehicle....The VERY First 'Carburetor' was a SPONGE! We've come a Long Way, Gentlemen!
