If it's only a problem at idle after it's warmed up, make sure your idle cut off solenoid working.  With the ignition switch turned on, pull the wire off of it and plug it back in several times . . . you should hear and feel it click when you put power to it.  If it's not pulling back the plunger when you turn the switch on, you will never get it to idle.

HowieDoin (and family) got Ethyl to the cruise in where we could take a look. Freeze plugs in the fresh air outlets, lime green rear tin in place . . . just not idleing when warm.  There was no power running to the idle cut off and choke.  There is now.  It's actually a pretty solid bus.

Glad y'all could make it!  Hope to see y'all become active members . . .   8)

Hey all, thanks again for checkin Ethyl out for me at the cruise in. Zen took alot of time to get her carb adjusted and ran an actual connection to the idle cut off. I met alot of good people there. Please don't make me take a quiz on who's who yet.  ;) I learned so much in such a short amount of time.

Ethyl is running much much better now and I'm driving her daily. Payday this weekend equals new parts!! New carb, a baffle for that stinger, new fuel lines and a brake line kit.

See you all at Wally's
