Would running rich cause these symptoms?  I only ask because there seems to
be a relationship between new (left) heads, bad grounds and running rich.

rpm suddently went up between 65 adn 70 mph. Actually what I mean was at 65
mph, rpm was 3,900, at 70 mph it went up to about 4,100 rpm. It was 3,800
