Alleyoop,
I completely cleaned the carb which included removing the said set screws and making sure they were not clogged. After cleaning, I blew through them with high air pressure to assure they were free of any obstructions.
Scooterbob,
I'm starting to believe it is going to be a vacuum leak somewhere. I would have this type of problem with the street race cars I built back in the day. It was usually a blown intake manifold gasket or vacuum line from the carb.
The only vacuum line I can see is the one from the gas tank valve to the intake, and that one is new. The intake gasket is hard plastic and I checked it with some dish soap and water. Guess my next step is to pony up the dough for a new carb.
Will let you guys know the outcome in a few weeks.
Thanks for all the help. it's very much appreciated.
