Now that you mention it, it DOES idle a little rough, and I have not been able to identify the cause from my vacuum guage readings. High vacuum, needle doesn't indicate worn rings, bad valve, OR bad valve guides (as the vac-guage literature says it should reveal). Also, it does not indicate ignition, but I plan on wapping over to an e-dizzy this winter. The carb was rebuilt by Jim C., so I don't suspect carburation.

Anyway, your point is a good one, maybe the bad seals are causing oil-richness at idle, making it idle a little rough?
