[Bricklin] Idling question

[Larry Ankeny]

You described the very problem I had one time.
turned out to be a stuck float in the carb. At idle, I wasn't burning gas 
fast enough to keep the fuel bowl in the carb from overfilling to the point 
it would overflow and trickle into the pistons.  Making it run rough and 
sometimes kill the engine.

As long as I was driving, all was well
