No smoke Joe, "nothing mechanical" stuck valve would cause the backfire but wouldn't account for the drop off in power and would still be there when I was at full throttle. I ordered a new fuel pump and a kit for this one yesterday when I got home. But I just don't see how it could be that since it will run at highway speed with the trottle wide open. Ya got a point though with the fuel gauge. I have to make new fuel lines anyway to switch over to the Carter so I could rig a new line with a tee while my Rochester is still on it. Think I'll run down to the flaps and see if I can pick one up.
