OK seems there is another issue. When i accelerate it bogs down..thought was too lean so I fattened it up. but today it was doing it again and cant get it up the driveway. I noticed that when i was adjusting mixture some gas dripped off the accelerator/pump gasket filter that started all this...

thanks for that advice. Is there a way to find a leak like there is a hole in a tire with soap?

didnt mean to put a question mark in the teleprompter lol

great will do that next?

just an update. I was trying to screw on that right mixture screw and moved the vacuum line I noticed it revved up. So looked at one of the caps it had a slight crack. went ahead and replaced that as i moved on the line it revvs up.. still kind of does it so not sure if a crack. Might replace...

Sounds great thanks for all the help both of you guys

Great thanks for the info. im assuming I will know Counter Clockwise or Clock wise by the revs. Also, do you think the carb might need to be rebuilt and this is just masking the issue or root of problem. Or if maybe the PO had it adjusted to counteract maybe the diaphram slowly going out. Im...

ok I think I got the right one. It has the locking nut then a non flat head/phillips hea screw/ i turned with socket and bumped the idle up just enough. it did stay idling. Only time it conked out was after driving and stopping to pull in driveway. Not sure if im masking the problem or fixing...

Correct it just wont stay running at idle. It feels like its right on the line. but then starts to conk out. It has a slight exhaust leak at the pipe into the muffler but it ran fine before that. so im ruling that out. PO said it went to shop for carb work before i bought it to get it running...

so next step to adjust idle? To be honest I dont even know which screw to turn

well i found an open vacuum line but recapped it still didnt work. It sounded like it wanted to then started dying out again. ill post the pics i took of the carb after was warmed up. Also the throttle is in the top hole. Will post in a second.

Going to go work on it now. Im going to make sure that connector is contacting and check the choke. thanks!

SlowLeak=You from or live in Lilburn? I grew up there and went to parkview class of 98. I lived off rockbridge and lilburn stn mtn behind the ingles. Small world

silly question..How do I check if the choke is fully open. Im a fuel inj guy thanks for the heads up. im hoping It doesnt need to be rebuilt. Im waiting until I rebuild the engine to do that. Since its blowing blue smoke. But i might as well drive it until it gives up the ghost

update Sorry for the delay fellas. So leave that heat pipe not connected unplugged? It cranked right up with the new diaphram. Then I noticed when I went to accelrate in 2nd gar it would bog a bit..Then it wouldnt stay idled. So yesterday I sprayed some carb cleaner in the vent tubes to try...

its a 1974. Tomorrow if it doesnt rain im going to see where that metal tube routes to and check the C4 as well.. thanks for the help BIG TIME

OK so I def need to find a home for the metal hose then...Would that make it tough to start? It took forever to get going..an thats when I noticed the diaphram leak... and havent fooled with it since. for safety reasons. Thanks for answering those questions. I know its not easy

I see a heat riser tube into exh manifold it just is going into a diff port. Not sure If I should remove all and start from scratch lol geez
