The piston lifts by vacuum, clearly this isn't happening.  Either the vacuum is 
being
provided, but is leaking off, or the vacuum isn't occurring in the first place. 
 The
former can be caused by improper installation of the diaphram or damage.  The
latter by blockage.

'71 with single stromberg has been stumbling, hesitating on acceleration etc. 
 I took the top off the carb to check the rubber diaphragm.  it was fine.  
looked at the rest of it and no apparent problems.  Put it back together and 
it starts but won't go faster than idle (not Eric).  When opening pulling the 
throttle cable, I can see that the cylindar is not rising.  If I hold the 
throttle open and manuall lift the cylindar, the revs come right up.  I have 
determined that will be a bit awkward while driving.
Any suggestions as to why the thing is doing this to me after all of my 
devotion and care?
