Thanks, Rodney -
I really believe (and am hoping) that none of the things you are describing are where my problem lie. I just put this motor back together about 1000 miles ago, after a spun rod bearing.
All this stuff has about 5000 miles on it...
Rollmaster Timing Chain & Gearset
Pioneer Damper
Timing matches on my balancer and degreed flywheel.
Ignition is a Duraspark, with a electronic pickup.
I really don't want to do the compression / leakdown test.
At least for now, I'm sticking with the carb as the culprit!
Thanks for thinking about my issues, though!
