Alright, yesterday I found a quiet street and did coasting stops and the engine did not die on any of the thee drifting stops - 30mph to zero no gearbox, no brakes. That may indicate a float issue or some floating trash in the bowl. So to be sure I knew where everything stands, I reset the timing and mixture screw to original settings. I adjusted the mixture screw to where is was set before all this happened. She idles well, I don’t have a tachometer, but it sounds between 800 and 1000 a little high maybe but smooth. I set the timing at 5 degree BTDC a degree more advanced than before. I haven’t tried taking the filter out of the loop yet as suggested, but did add about 4 oz of sea foam to the quarter tank of gas just to see if maybe it’s bad gas, this all started after my last fill up. Then I went for another test drive. She died at the first stop sign...then didn’t die for the next eight driving normally. She did flutter a couple times, but didn’t die. So now I think I’ll drive it until the tank is near empty and get new gas from a different location and see where that leads before I tear into the Rochester. Oh, I did check for vacuum leaks and everything, carb bolts and hoses, were snug with no evidence of any leaks. I’ll update the forum later as I try and work this out, I feel closer now and I appreciate the help and suggestions provided so far.
