Perhaps is not a problem, perhaps the car must to vibrate.....Harleys do! I only owned european modern cars and a 302 1969 Mustang...the car sounds great but the idle is not stable, I dont know if is only because the car is cold or even that this kind of engine runs in this manner (nobody touched the car, I opened the container seals). The car has only 6 miles on it. In first gear, running very slow, it makes some "push"..... obviously as you runned it before shipping you better than I can evaluate it...we must take into account that car has been alost two months stopped.... lamentably I cant drive it until final october.... Don't worry, its only a first impression, the car must run any mile to evaluate it, I will check all electric contacts (distributor, spark, ...) Ah! the carb butterfly (I saw with air filter dimounted) is totally open when the car is turned off! Thanks Jay... keep you posted....dont worry I will touch nothing without your instructions (only air filter to see carb)

Cheers

Alfonso
