Greg,
Larry has a point here. Or you needle valve may be sticking. This
can be due to crud getting
into the carb. Do you have a fuel filter?
Speaking of fuel filters, if anyone is thinking about installing a
fuel filter on their car, I strongly
advise against using the plastic filters you can buy at most of the
aftermarket car parts places.
I'd suggest getting one of the metal ones. That way you don't have
to worry it melting and pouring fuel all over a hot
engine, spelled: F I R E!!!.
Or you can still get the metal ones with the removable glass bowels from
