Thanks for all the tips guys. Well i took the decklid off (because i couldn't get my melon head in close enough to look down the carb) and started working the throttle with the engine off. Well it didn't look like there was anything coming out of the accelerator tube. So I start it up and go back and mess with it some more and still nothing coming out. So I think I've found the problem. So do I need to take the whole thing apart and soak it or just take the top off and blow everything out? Also Marc, will the preheat flanges not being drilled out cause a performance problem? There were small holes there but I could have certainly made them bigger. Thanks again for all the help gang!
