* Last rebuild on the carbs? Unknown. Still haven't synchronized them.
 
* Air-conrol stuff? What is that? :)

How? Suck on the vacuum line on the diz? It passes, but it takes all the
lung-power I've got (smoker :(). The plate slips back, too...a leak in the
diaphragm? Perhaps a 009 might be called for.

How to test? Replace?

Cleaned the oilbath. No change. Where else to look?

Nope - no stereo. Did, however, replace the generator recently. I've also

OK otherwise. Electricals are stil 6v.

Thanks again.
