Thanks, we did check the gaps, and the cylinders were honed to spec.

Also, another note to add, when driving to school I would let it warm up for a few minutes before driving in the morning. The concrete would be wet from water from the exhaust when I would leave, and later when I would come home, after the water evaporated, there would be black sootish stuff that stained the concrete. Could this have anything to do with it? I just figured it was just running rich due to the choke being on and the excess fuel was depositing on the ground.
