I was hoping to post a short video of the fuel vapor coming out of the carburetor choke after I shut the engine off but I can’t find a way to post a video but I think you get the idea.

Slight miss and loss of power
Last week my 26 sedan ran so great but this week there’s a slight missing in the exhaust and a noticeable loss of power. And when I shut the engine off there’s a noticeable vapor coming out of the choke. 🫤 shorting out each spark plug seems to have no noticeable change in engine sound.

Re: Slight miss and loss of power
Seeing that you have a 26 is it a standard carb or a vaporizer? Jim
