Took it apart and it was clean...has me stumped...the carburetor has been on the car for over 6 years and ran good...
Any insights would be helpful...
Thanks

It's possible that's deteriorating and putting contaminants into the carb downstream of the inline filter. Some needle valve seats also have a strainer above them that can come apart.

Thanks for your insights, it is back on the car and running well.
