So i was busy syncing the carbs for a while,

and driving it to work, and fixing little things around the car, and then yesterday i pulled the carbs to do something else and i found my left side choke block off was loose, and there was what looks like a grain of rice (but tiny) in the Cyl #3 idle jet passage, i noticed my idle speed was dropping sometimes and also was a bit rough now and again,

so i cleared the passage with some brake cleaner and am now fixing an unrelated "muffler came loose" issue , I guess theres always something.

Still didn't blow up and still quite happy with this engine! Very Happy
