Stattz is it running yet

theres a reason the pros charge and arm and a leg for working on those things. they are a p.i.t.a.!

my 77 is finally running good, i just kept running 93 pump through it. about 3000k later on the clocks and its running pretty good.

also, chances are, messing with the screws wont solve anything. it was running when it came from the factory. if someone decided to start randomly turning the screws after that, then chances are you wont get it figured out without going back to the factory settings and seeing if it'll run. the problem that presents is if it doesnt run. then you have to start looking again. i usually dont start messing with the screws until ive checked everything else. float valves, jets, etc. cuz once youve messed with the screws, with out indexing them or making sure you keep really close track, you can be opening a huge can of worms. those racks of carbs can be a major pain. and you gotta have some idea what youre doing before you start digging in. good luck. and keep us posted.

thats more or less what i was saying. duh. what can screw things up is clogged jets and things like that. if the idle jet is clogged, then he'll have a problem getting it to run right. if theres an air passage clogged, it wont run right. but definitely look at everything else first. chances are, it was running fine when it was parked, or it had a dead battery or flat tires or god knows what else. whatever it was, it probably wasnt the carbs. ive found once they are set, they really dont need messing with.
