Spitting sputtering TO-35 at idle speeds.

I am having a problem with my TO-35 spitting and sputtering at idle speeds. Over 1100 rpm runs smoothly. New condenser, new coil, new points, carburator just rebuilt. Even small adjustments in timing make very little difference. (1/16 of an inch out of time seems to run best). Smells like it is running too rich, but carb adjustments do nothing (except when so lean or rich that engine quits). Is this a spark advance thing? I am at the end of my rope on this one. Any ideas?

First guess is wobbly throttle shaft that lets in too much air. Did you replace the shaft when you overhauled the carb?

Yes, I replaced the shaft and gaskets. I believe this problem is in the carb somewhere. I just don't know how to go about finding it or fixing it.

Yah, it's definitely in the carb. It sounds like the idle mixture jet. I'm assuming you cleaned it good when you had it torn down.

I'm sure you'll figure it out.

Yes, I cleaned it, but couldn't get a replacement in a kit. The tip is worn and I am afraid of trying to sharpen it since I may get it off center. Adjusting this doesn't seem to do much good anyway. I hane new gaskets, but haven't coated everyone with gasket compound. This is my next step.

Don't reccommend gasket compound on carb gaskets. You may have to take it apart again. I think you've done about all that can be done in the carb area.

There are other sources of minor air leaks that you may not have checked thoroughly, like the manifold gasket next to the cylinder head. Something is definitely upsetting the air-fuel mixture. Very interesting problem.
