Our '55 starting have an intermittent running rough problem. I thought it might be the carburetor and asked a retired person who owned a carb shop to have him give me his opinion. He felt it was a sticky lifter based on the noise the carb made when it idled rough.

His suggestion was to drain a quart of oil from and add a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil. Start it up and let it idle for 15 minutes or so and then let it cool down. Then repeat the cycle 4 to six times to see if things got better. After about 3 times the problem went away. I did it 3 more time and the issues has never reoccurred.

Initially, I had my doubts that it would work, but it was to easy and cheap not to try so I did.
