Thankk you guys for your info in my last post. You were right!! Carb linkage was the problem. The 359 now idles as it should. It seems though it is laboring quite a bit. I advanced the timing and it helps. My problem now is that it is advanced alot. Now i'm going to tell on myself. When I went to clean the oil pump, I did what the manual said. Bring it up on #1 at 6 degrees btd, then mark my distributer. When reinstalling I must have been off a tooth on the cam. Any suggestions. To me I just don't have a lot of adjust ment left to fine tune. One other thing. I want to take out the distributer to clean. Any thing I shound know before taking out. Like governer parts and so on. Thanks, Brian.
