I took the carburetor off today, took the top off i have a bent metering rod passenger side. I didn't take the rods out first before removing top it came apart just so easy i lifted the top off not sure how it got bent, there is corrosion green looking close to the top. this is a brand new 4636s avs 1968 carb been setting for years gonna have to rebuild. I have a question on this, so the metering rods regulate primary front of carb? there in the back of the carb, and front jets operate the secondary? also since i had four good plugs and four black plugs this bent metering rod is my problem most likley.

You should be able to straighten the rod carefully in a vice. The rods go into the front primary jets and regulate mixture by vacuum. The secondary jets are in the rear. Don't change anything until you get that carb rebuilt and try it. Do you have the correct choke?
