Well I bit the bullet and drained the tank fresh fuel and it still ran poor unless the choke was pulled part way out. First thing was to spray intake and check for leaks and I did not find any, so I pulled the carb. As soon as I pulled it down I found the problem, the gasket between the throttle body and carb was shot. So I start looking for a carb kit for a single throat holley carb.

That kit used to cost $7 and a carb rebuilt was in the $50 range and they claim that there is no inflation.....Tell that to wall street cause us folks on main street and back street know better...
