RE: [T3] rough idle


I am having the same problem. Starts right up! But then seems to foul
the plugs a little. I rev it up to clear it out then it is fine. Seems
to be way to rich at start up.
Thanks

My squareback has very rough idle until it's driven for about 10
minutes. It starts up like a champ with one turn of the key, but it'll
conk out a few seconds later.

I went through all the usual tune-up, except for balancing the carbs,
and everything checked out. Thinking it was bad gas problem, I drove it
around for a bit to see if I could burn out the bad gas. After cruising
around for around 10 minutes everything smoothed out.

A few hours later, I need to go to town, and the problem resurfaces, and
smoothes out after driving around for 10 minutes. 

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks.
