Hi all,
First, thanks for all, thanks for all the suggestions for the my recent carburetor problem.
I had to pull the carb again as the same problem resurfaced, just not as bad. I think the diaphragm in the acceleration had a pin hole in it.
This time I pulled the thing apart, dropped it into a container of carb cleaner, and let it soak overnight. This morning I scrubbed the body and replaced all the rubber and anything else that was in the rebuild kit.
I put it back together and reinstalled it. I did notice notice that either the flange on the manifold or the bottom of the carb is not perfectly flat. Anyway I replaced all the gaskets and hooked up everything. After the carb filled up with gas he fired up and at the moment running good.
Again thanks for all your thoughtful suggestions.

Bob
