[6pack] Miss Off Idle

[Darrell Ramsey]

Mike,
My guess would be an intake manifold gasket leak or a vacuum hose leak 
creating a lean mixture in a cylinder or two.   Applying the choke would 
enrich the mixture and compensate for the lean condition.  An air leak can 
be confirmed by using an unlit propane torch as described in recent list 
traffic.
