Okay, just installed remanufactured Rochester B carb on my 54 3100. 235 c.i. with hydramatic trans. Started right up, but the throttle sticks when given gas, and I can only decrease the throttle by getting under the hood and moving the linkage manually. Don't want to road test it until I can control the throttle. Any ideas?

Did you check/hook up the throttle return spring?

Yes, the throttle spring is attached. I figured out that the throttle linkage was rubbing on my manifold. A little bend made it work properly.

Nice! I've forgotten to replace the spring before.
