According to the diagram in my Haynes
manual the valve is connected to the
manifold vacuum on one side and the
canister purge line on the other. The vacuum
line from the intake manifold that supplies
cylinders 3 and 4 is the line I'm talking about.
The anti-run-on valve was allowing this  to be open;
therefore air was being drawn into the intake at
cylinders 3 and 4. This really caused a difference
in the mixture for cylinders 3 and 4 versus 1 and 2.
Surely this isn't the way it should work. I plugged it
off ,and I'm trying to retune the carb. What do you think?
Thanks!
Larry
