Troubleshooting help Needed

[CalebD]

An air leak could be as simple as a missing or compromised gasket between carb & manifold. Check carb for any fuel leaks; if fuel can leak out then air can leak in.

Removing the main passage plug from the carb and collecting the fuel that leaks out often helps burp the carb and get debris out.

About 4 or 5 yrs ago I believe I had an air leak around the throttle linkage where it enters the carb. Pretty sure that's where the problem was .. but as I had a new carb on my spare engine I just put that on .... the old one is now lost in the quagmire I call "the garage".
