Default Carb was cleaned to its original new look and installed!

All the fuel lines, air lines and everything around i cleaned. carb was striped and cleaned to the last screw. Unfortunately she has the same symptoms as when i originally posted. After learning a thing or two i still agree that its a fuel problem but this is now getting beyond my knowledge. sad to say i dont have the funds anymore to take her into a shop anytime soon. im starting to lean towards parting her out...

Are you sure that your petcock is ok? Getting good vacuum to it? Is it flowing freely at lower RPMs?

Don't part it out, keep looking, if it is a fuel problem like you suspect, it should not be too hard to fix.

Have patience, with a little effort you will fix the problem, if frustrated, put her to bed and come back in week and try again.

Don't give up

Its a little more than that too. Ill be losing my garage spot, something that was unplanned. meaning ill have no place to have all the parts spread out. Also i just lost my main income and bringing it into a shop any time soon is out of a question. as u see i got my self in to a bit of a problem.

Yes that was the original thread.

Something that was suppose to be a fun winter project for me is unfortunate to much of a financial strain at the time. The parting out was an idea but at the same time of cours family comes first at times like this.
