Got it all back together and went for a drive.

Like I said, the good news is that it is not leaking gas anymore.

The bad news is that it doesn't want to run below 2,000 rpm.  As it warmed up,
it seemed like the rpm range needed to be even higher.  I basically had to
keep the rpm above 2,000 or 2,500 at all times or it stalled.

Any thoughts on what I've done wrong?

One thing I don't fully understand, and perhaps it is part of the problem, the
rectangular flap that is part of the choke, it seems to be open all the time.
I would have thought that when the car was cold, it would be closer to closed.
Maybe I flipped something when I put that back together.  But, even with wide
open, once the engine was warm, I would have thought it would run fine.

Over 2,500, it was nice, smooth and powerful.

Thanks for any thoughts.

And Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there.
