    Thanks and additional info

     



    I will tear into the carb today to clean it up. I will also check vacuum, but I should add that the motor takes an unusual amount of throttle to start it and keep it running. I have to floor it to get it to start. If I adjust the idle screw in nearly completely, it will idle around 2000 RPM when warmed up. As soon as it the Rs drop below this, instant stall.

    Thanks for both of your help. I'll let you know what I find this morning.
