Hello and Good Morn , Half Caf

   Not sure what issues have been solved,over the week you've been here,
 My 77 f had been setting for 6(?)yrs then 10 before that 1month of being played with .
O.K.
 hook up a I.V. gas tank / car batt. and she fired up
   Didn't sound right after 5-8 min run with Sea Foam,like you ! had 2 cold pipe's #3 being the coldest ,
One of my carbs was gummed up #3 and #3 had a bent pilot scew
  ; had taken each apart and cleane and back together (old parts)
check electrical and coil wires were switched (blu--yel)at stk.splice under carb area.
   Fired her up again (starts just fine)
  Idle wouldn't drop  at all ,;removed 'cleaned ,oiled all cables
and pulled and checked out carbs (just a good look see) and silicon lubed all exterior moving points,
 And removed throttle return cable,throttle working great but idail still not droping fast "to me".

   Paul (my tech guy)looked inside carbs and said my first squirt gas(Accelerator / diaphragm) wasn't working
 replaced that ,and just gauge synced carbs ( to get back close fer now)
 No more pop,stuck throttle, all pipes even temp
    ,
 
     
Just thought I'd share with you derectly seem these are common probs. and mostly a matter of time cleaning and double checking your own work,(I was the one that switch the blu--yel wire ?)
 Take your time and enjoy >>>Piute<<<N>>>judose<<<
