I noticed something weird about my Car's Idling..

My Subaru seemed to be running rougher lately (81DL wagon) so I opened the hood and noticed that if I put downward pressure on the air filter housing the car suddenly seemed to run better.

 

I also discovered there was a minor amount of side to side play with the air filter housing (because I am missing a sidemount bolt) and I was able to find a sweet spot.

 

Anyone have an idea what is going on? I'm pretty certain the rebuilt carburetor is securely bolted down.

i would check all the phillips screws that hold the top of the carb onto the main body of the carb also. i had these work loose on a car i had once. turned out the whole carb was kinda falling apart right on top of the motor. tightened them all up and was as good as new...
