You're welcome. Many, many years ago, I used to do "no parts tune-ups" for my fraternity brothers in college for, like, $25 (or something of that relative worth). That included cleaning and gapping the plugs, setting the timing and dwell, inspecting the distributor cap and sandpapering the electrodes clean, cleaning the air filter with gasoline, and cleaning and adjusting the carb. Cleaning out the carb with spray cleaner, including the air bleeds, made a huge difference, even in the non-ethanol 70's. I'm glad I was able to help you -- you might want to add a "quick squirt" to your bi-monthly maintenance schedule.
