Did you try a new set of plugs after you fouled them out? Put in new plugs and a good carb that works and see what you get then.

i replaced the plugs about 50 miles ago becaue they were fouled out with oil, i just blew it off last time and now they are twice as bad
changin them now would just be a temporary fix

You say oil soaked :?: :?: Not gas :?: :?: I think i would now be looking at valve guides and seal's :!: Guides can cause idle problem's if too loose :!: :!: Have you put a vacum gauge on it yet :?: :?:

Probably one of those engines never had the oil changed, pull the valve cover and the entire thing is filled with sludge, once the oil gets to the rockers, it cant drain back to the pan bc everything is blocked.

Ok, let me get this straight, your pulling the heads cause it wont idle, man this is good...lmfao!
Tell me this Bowhay, did it idle ok with the 650? I'm thinking it did.

I think you merfed up something in the making of that mis-matched 750 you dreamed up.

Man before you go yanking heads and all, put a known "good" carb on there first.

I dont doubt you may or may not have a valve guide sealing issue, but seriously, the valve guides would practically have to be non existent to leak enough vacuum past them to not idle.

Just my 2 cents, Cp

Probably TXHUNTER or whatever his name is getting even for you dropping that rocker ball into his engine....I bet he stole your valve seals and jets.
