the passenger side is too warm, I think at least. the cooler the engine runs the better right? and that the carb is letting too much air in when the coil thermosat heats up in the head and opens up the valve, but when I manually restrict the flow to match the cooler side, the car comes up to 1000 rpm idle easy and steady.
