Thanks, Scotty, your vagrant thoughts are often helpful and always welcome. I'll try the synchronizing first (later today) and hope that does it. I had cleaning the filter at the carb on my list (I was told about it on another post), but then the belt broke and that was put first. I'll do that next, then go down your suggested list if the problem continues. I gather from other people's posts here that a carb cleaning/rebuild may be the problem, too, but I'm still cleaning that dark brown lump hanging under the manifold that I'm assuming is the carb, so I don't even know which carb it is. I was looking for the block serial number and found some grimey bumps (I still can't read well yet) located behind the oil filter- is that it? Should the chassis number and the block number be the same or at least close? (I think I read that somewhere.) I'm thinking that there has been some major parts-swapping going on, so I don't think this Super A will ever be a show circuit candidate for lack of original, matching parts.
Thanks again for your input, I'll do that stuff this evening and we'll see what happens.
