I agree with Terry. He stopped by this morning with his lovely wife to
pick up his ole truck shirts and we talked a little about your problem.
Sounds like you should take the carb apart and have it rebuilt. I had a
similar problem when I first installed my old carb, taken from the bone
yard. I had it rebuilt by the local Napa guys and intalled it with a
sediment bowl in front of it. Stupid thing was that I used an old
connector that blew junk into my carb and clogged it all up. After a
second rebuild and a new fitting it runs just great! Check this out and
see what's in there. May just be the float or some junk in there.
