Welcome to the Stovebolt, Darrell.
This is a great question for the ENGINE FORUM. I would move this post to that forum but will let it stand here so other folks can see our new members as they register......and while we don't like for folks to "double post a question" in more than one forum I suggest you go to the engine forum and ask your question.

.....in the meantime, sounds like you have a fuel problem. Float level in carb? or other adjustment.

.....also, watch for other bolters from Tenn. They are quite a few here.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
