RE: IML: Coil Update

["Brooks Harkey" <vm.dude@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think you're going to find a problem internally in the carburetor.  An
internal leak will do exactly what you're describing.

Here is something to try (thought this is not the definitive end-all of
testing):  With it running at idle, remove the air cleaner and look down the
throat of the carburetor.  You should not see any gasoline dripping from the
barrels down onto the throttle plates.  

If you do, try lowering the float level.

Subject: IML: Coil Update

I replaced the coil this afternoon because it appeared to be seeping oil. To

no avail, no real difference except it seems to idle terrible but cruise 
smoothly.  The next "only" thing left would be water in the gas tank. This 
car sat for a year at a time before it was run briefly for a period of 
several years.
Would this be a likelyhood?
Thx,
