Alright, on a whim I swapped out the coil and she stays running now... Go figure...

She still has the high idle issue. Might be that its idleing alright and it just sounds that way cause she has 3' of exhaust pipe left :rolleyes:

Either high idle or no idle. So maybe these updrafts do idle higher???

Even if the fuel pump wasnt working the gas tank sits 6' off the ground so gravity would be more then adequate to fill the carb.
