hey guys a lil while back I posted my rough idle question... everyone told to check the idle jet... I removed it and it was fine....
any other sugestions?

I have a 1 barrel solex which is working fine.

here are the troubles, the car will not idle well when cold...
when it is warm it shakes ALOT...
by giving the car more gas it smooths out.
somtimes when at idle it will jump up from 800 to 1200 or so all by itself, could this be a intake leak?

the car somtimes runs on after I turn it off.

what do you think the problem is, dwell timing or vaccum leak or valve clearance problem?

thanks
