Hi my name is Jeff, I'm new to this site and was hoping to get some advice. I recently purchased a 1962 century resorter with a chrysler 318 in it. The valve covers say m318b but the brass plate on the engine says 318 bl. Not sure which model number to go by but anyway here is my issue. I took the boat out for the first time and it ran great, no issues. Parked the boat at the dock and went to take it out the following weekend and started having a problem with the idling. The engine won't idle under 1000 rpm's and when is is idling this high the rpm's will surge up to like 1400-1500 and drop back down. I originally thought it was a fuel issue so I changed both fuel filters and cleaned and rebuilt the carb. Put everything back together and it's running the same. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for the help.
