thanks guys, ill start from the top to help you guys help me. Ok i didn't disassemble because i though taking the top off the carb would ruin that gasket, but i can take it apart. um i feel like its fuel problem because i can spray carb cleaner into it while its running and it will clear up then once its gone like all used up that i sprayed it starts acting up again. its a edelbrock carb and to clear some things up this is a recent rebuilt engine, maybe have 200 miles on it.. ill look into rebuilding the carb or cleaning thoroughly. what is the gasket called for the top where the floats are or do i just need a whole rebuild kit?

Yep, a fuel issue.
Is enough fuel being pumped to the carb - could be a bad pump or blocked fuel-filter.

And if it is getting enough gas can you work the throttle arm on the side of the carb and see gas being squirted down the bore of the carb?

In any event I'd open up the carb and see that all the jets etc are not blocked and the fuel bowl isn't full of water/crap.

See how you go
