<p>Probably..because the engine needs fuel to burn, your carb
pistons are not returning to full down position allowing too much
fuel through and as Dave said carbon deposits or very hot</p>
<p>edges on the gasket bore periphery are igniting the fuel. First
try leaning the mixture, reducing the idle speed, set ignition
timing and points to factory specs and precede this with a
thorough tune up with new plugs, points and condenser.... Dave,

<p class="MsoNormal">I am by no means the best mechanic, but I
can tell you this advice is just wrong. You are band aiding
the problem. I would try a higher grade gas, or maybe even
just getting out on the freeway and trying to burn off the
carbon deposits. Possibly retarding or advancing the timing?
These cars don’t necessarily do that, and if yours does there
is a solution. <o:p></o:p></p>
