Thanks for the suggestions. I will play with idle mixture screw to see what happens.

The carb has new gaskets with the exception of the throttle body to the fuel bowl. The one in my kit was distorted. I should probably get a new kit to play it safe, I am doubtful of kit’s quality and age. I did not soak the carb, I just disassembled and blew out the passages.

There is booze in the gas in my area. I am not certain what percentage. I believe it varies with summer and winter.
