Special Thanks to Cliff

[Mr.Pontiac]

Thanks again Cliff , when you see this i pulled the idle restrction cups out in a minute and had a donor carb. sitting here.(always pays to have a spare) installed a set out of the donor with .045 and opened to .052 as you stated.  Unfortunatly i tore top gasket and ill change it tommarrow if i find i rebuild kit. If sure this will help some and hope it cures my problem!! Will let you know soon. Thanks again for always being there! Rich

FWIW, a call to Cliff will get you a gasket- they are available separately for a LOT cheaper than even a basic rebuild kit from the local parts house.

yes you are right, i will go that route
