Hi Again, If you followed my last message about the ignition switch problem I was having. You will know I have been working on my 1969 W300. It had sat for the last year or so. I thought it would be a good idea to have the carburetor rebuilt and do a complete tune-up. This included installing a Mop

Can't imagine any reason an engine would backfire at idle, but if that is a problem then it's pretty obvious not to use the tubing as a stethoscope. Of course if its backfiring at idle it isn't a carb adjustment that the engine needs. Before Uni-Syn was invented the tubing stethoscope was the only easy way we had to balance multiple carbs.

No, Norm, I didn't edit that post, and don't know of any editing ability to line out text like that....
