Good question,Hogger54! I think I read somewhere to attach the vacuum gauge to the distributor advance,but I can't understand how this would work,unless vacuum is created from the oil pump?? I'm GUESSING that the gauge be connected to the line that runs from the vac. advance to the carb. base,(intake),since you'd have to adjust the air/fuel mixture screw,which is relative to that line?? THANKS,Wrenchbender Ret.! That just may be the problem! I rebuilt the carb. 2-years ago,and have had no problem,until now. Yes,the passages were blown clean with compressed air,(at the time), and maybe it took this long to work itself loose!! I'll check it out in the next day or so,and I'll be sure to let you know! THANKS,again! Steve,I already got the message about the float level! I need to proof-read,too! GREAT suggestion! My float level,and drop,were off a mile!! Even after adjustment,it doesn't want to run like it should. I'll have to check that pump discharge ball thing,too. The discharge tube was stuck,but didn't make a difference in the performance after freed-up! THANKS!!
