Thanks for the reply. I've been looking for a vacuum leak and will keep looking. I rebuilt the carb but being a rookie I'm never sure of what I might be missing. I'm 64 years old and this was my first carb rebuild! Thanks so much again for the reply.
To check for vacuum leaks, get a can of ether or carb cleaner. Spay the rubber hoses and connections where vacuum is connected. Spray the base of the carb where it mounts to the intake. If the engine races, you've found your leak.
