Variables?? UM.. ok.. What was the original complaint? the stalling?
Out of curiousity yesterday, I did a search on ebay for Autolite 2100's and there are a lot of them! Some were 20 / 30 bucks. And the dashpot that Dave mentioned was in there to. The dashpot was supposed to "catch" the throttle and close the butterflys slowly and gently to stop the motor stalling. It may help your issue????
