Thanks for responding Phoenix7, I see your from the bay area, I lived in Sacramento for 21 years I moved here to Missouri 4 years ago.
The car is a 84 GSL 12a with a carburetor problem. It's all stock with the Fed. smog stuff but not the Calif. stuff ( I believe) it has 126,000 miles and I don't really know the Maintenance history. I'm lead to believe it's good because the car looks like new inside and out. At first I thought the problem was in the ignition area, (coils,ignitors,wires,plug) that type of thing but now I'm sure it's in the Carburetor. The left side Trailing plug fowls out at start up so I let it warm up a little change that plug and the car will run like a top (purr like a kitten) the next day you pull the chock start the car and the plug fowls and you have to change it again. The left two plugs are black from excess fuel and the right two are a medium brown. I was hoping to just be able to drive and enjoy the car not spend a lot of time and money on it setting in the drive.

Thanks,
Curtis
