Somthing didn't set right with it not running off the fuel tank ( for now a 2 liter bottle. stock tank is due for replacement and I'll hang a brand new stocker in it's place, along with a new fuel line to the front ).. It came to me. Old cars need CHOKE.. I went out, gave it a little choke and it ran like it should. carb needs rebuilt as it always has but it's running smooth... Must have been working on the newer stuff too long. I'll drop it in reverse tomorrow and pull it out.
