Ok, this weekend I repulled and rebuilt carb, new intake/exhaust gaskets, new fuel pump(under warrenty), new fuel/vacuum lines and still at the same problem. Intake came apart surprisingly easy...all bolts turned freely ( i had expected problems). The gasket looked fine with the exception of the #1 cylinder exhaust had a small leak. Everything else looks in place and running fine. Put an inline fuel pressure guage in and she holds 4psi consistent. Plan to take off carb tonight and swap float and needle just to rule it out. Only runs w/choke out. Any other help appreciated.
