    OK, turns out it wasn't the gas....or at least, not what I thought.

    On the fourth tear down of the carb, I found lots of little pieces of silicon stopping up the little screen that is on the inlet for the needle and seat for the drivers side of the carb.

    Apparently the carb would fill up and it would run fine. When I romped on it, the one side couldn't keep up and would run out of gas.

    Cleaned everything out. Installed a new fuel filter. It's a hot rod again.

    Went on a 60 mile test drive today with no issues.
