Hey...  Your ISP rejects me.  Is it me?  Just me?  You just MIGHT be missing 
out on private responses and might wish to look at your settings.

Anyway... See add'l info below (in your text).  I already responded earlier.

Right now, I'm thinking wheel balance (tire going bad?) or disintegrating 
balancer (but not likely based on your info).  Either would be easy.  Let's 
rule things out...  Take a look at the HB and be certain.

After that, bad plug... bad wire...

I don't want to say what is next on my mind, but it IS a 140.

I don't know anything about those fancy carbs you've got - so someone else 
will have to speak to that.
