It seems like the motor may be a bit worn as in looking at the draft tube it pulses smoke out of the pipe at idle. I've been trying to just drive it and hope that things get better. Currently this hasn't been working well as it isn't getting better and I'm trying to get it to a point where I can trust the car on the road. I may need to adjust the carburetor too as in coming to a stop it may die out. Sometime it starts back up but there has been two instances were I needed to wait a while then eventually able to start up. I had the generator rebuild and am still running the 6 Volt positive ground system so there are mixes of enjoyment and frustration.
