<VV> Re: suspected carb problem

Hmm, running rich, fuel fouled plugs, broken t-stat.  You didn't  mention 
where you are but, is it cold there?  Sounds like carb icing.   All evidence 
melts by the time you get the car somewhere to check.  I had  this happen once in 
California. (140 in a 63 GB camper).  All I had to do  was to open the 
summer/winter plate.  You might have to fix the thermostat  AND open the plate.  I'd 
guess that any temps below 40 degrees ambient  could give you trouble (it's 
colder than ambient at the venturi area)
OTOH, you could be in Florida and it's 85 deg. in which case the secretary  
will disavow any knowledge of these recommendations.
