Ok today I was messing with my carb to try to get it tuned, and I noticed something I hadn't noticed before. Here is some background:
I check all the plugs a whitieh powder with a red tint( I think thats good)
I let the car warm up to about 190 degrees.
I connect vaccum guage, rpm guage, timing light, and AFR meter.
I tune it to the smooth idle of 810mv or 13.1-12.5 to one it bounced 60 mv.
Idle is at 1000 in park about 700 in drive.
Timing is at 10 degrees.
A/F meeter is in driverside of motor so I am actually on reading one side of the engine. When I pull the #5 plug wire I noticed the A/F ratio went to 17-18 to one. and it onle did it with that plug wire.
What would cause this?
