Got my new 84 home tontite. It runs beautifully. Engine is tight, quiet, and smooth (25k ago new VW longblock). One little glitch. At idle the engine runs a little rough, kinda stumbling, kind missing? Yet, any throttle makes it run perfect. It smells a little rich, yet it passed emissions? There is not cat, so perhpas there is a little less backpressure? Not sure what it could be, vacuum leak?

Any suggestions appreciated!
