On the 21-22 of Feb, I discovered the engine idle was bad and that when in gear, at idle the engine was running poorly.
Today I was able to deal with that problem. I checked the fuel filter and found quite a few pieces of dark material in the filter. So I removed it and cleaned it and re-installed it. I then removed the 1405 from the car. After that I removed the metering rods and related hardware, then the top cover of the carb. In the metering rod channels there was the same type of dark material but smaller, used carb cleaner and sprayed those areas until clean. I also disassembled the floats and needles and sprayed with carb cleaner. I sprayed carb cleaner where ever possible throughout the carb and pieces/parts. I reassembled everything, fired up the engine and it idled like it should in and out of gear.
So I need to re-think how the current filter is setup and maybe add two filters.
