    Well, she starts runs till warm.....then dies ?!? Have to give it half throttle to keep running. Take my foot off accelerator, and dies ?
    how do you check if idle solenoid is working ? Took it out, put power to it, it clicks but do not see anything. Any help here would be great

    I see you just went through the carb, I'm wondering if the adjustments have been put back to the baseline settings? My truck would do the same before. I think people start adjusting the carbs as they get older to keep them running then when the inevitable carb rebuild happens they need to be turned back.

    Just a theory....Good Luck

    Well turns out part of the problem was my distributor.... Had the white turn knob under a clear cap. Was all the way unscrewed ?!? I can idle at about 1200 rpm now....but not power ? Next is replacing all vacuum lines I guess
