I don't have another carb available to swap. As far as running, it started up right off the bat, ran strong, then stumbled a bit, then died. I can't keep it running long enough to try fussing with the timing or mixture screw, I am just trying to get a decent initial adjustment. I might have to pull the top off the carb to check float settings, except I don't know what carb it is, other than a Rochester single barrel with manual choke.
I'm going to go out and do some more fiddling and see what I can do.
This is very frustrating, although I am really happy that it actually runs! Only the second non-VW engine I've ever done.

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur (
