not familiar with the carb as never tore mine apart...but would be willing to help out. on my motorcycle if that happens it usually means a fuel flow problem like float bowl needing adjustment or trash in fuel line restricting flow when you give her the go juice.

david will chime in i am sure since he is a real mechanic and I only play one on television.

we will get her figured out though....

Man your shocks are at my house in Ladson when you want to pick them up. No rush there not taking up much room

Start simple. Check the fuel filter, lines, and then check for a vacuum leak. If all are good make sure the fuel pump is pumping enough gas. It sounds to me like a clogged filter or a jet in the carb is blocked. If you need a hand I can help this coming weekend. Good luck!
