Sounds like a can of Sea Foam wouldn't hurt.

You can buy Sea Foam from O'reillys, Pep boys, NAPA, Parts plus etc. Here's the website for SeaFoam

Keep in mind that it's going to take some time for the sea foam to travel up the fuel line and make it to the carbs at idle, esp depending on the set up, and with a poor running engine that can be difficult.

well I went to Pep Boys and picked up a can of Sea Foam,got home ,started the troubled (port)motor and viola, it ran fine,I didnt even need the sea foam! I guess the motor was gummed up and saw the can of sea foam and decided to work. Thanks for the advice this sea foam works better than I thought!

It's a miracle product, no doubt! Really, if you use it according to mixing directions it can really help keep those carbs clean. I had a rough idle and used it and after 18 gallons the idle smoothed out, or at least seemed to. Keep us posted on your progress with the engine.

Maybe the gas from running the motor sitting in the carbs and other areas for several days acted as a solvent.

You'd be surprised about the performance issues of a spark plug. I've used plugs that look perfectly normal to the naked eye but when they are put under a load and used at higher RPMs, they break down and didn't work as they should have. I would take the advise of the other guys and put in new plugs and then take it for a ride and see what happens. I tend to agree, replace the plugs.
Good luck.
I gotta say this is dead on. Do yourself a favor even with it running right, do the seafoam treatment now on the old plugs and then swap for new. Made a big difference in my 88 SPL

"Sea Foam" or "Carbon Guard"/"Ring free" is a "MUST" for the crummy fuel we now are using in our EXPENSIVE engines. I use it EVERY time I top off.
