I've been working for a very long time with many tangents trying to solve
an irregular idle and the engine death when braking.  After all the usual
avenues, I installed a glass "Clear View" in line fuel filter at the carb and
noticed water accumulating in the filter.  AHA!!!  there was a bit of water
in the tank.  I drank it all out (or syphoned it) and she runs grrrrrrreat. 
Man what a RELIEF.

I found that my gas guage does work, but the float is full of water or gas
:)

Question:  What can I patch the float with.  I do know that hot glue melts
in gas.  

I am a happy boy with my car now running right.
