Well, this is strange. IT seems like the truck has decided to fix itself. The only thing that I did was to put an inline filter in. I put it in the frame before the pump. Not a lot of room there but I was able to do it without having a kink in the rubber tubing. Not sure how a filter would have cured my issue. but I'll take it. It has been running well for a week now.

One weird thing about these two barrel carbs though. There seems to be no adjusting the high idle (Choke on) like I see on every other carb.

Thanks,
Jim
The 2bbl carbs have only one screw that sets the normal idle speed and also sets the high idle speed. The screw adjusts on the choke cam. Sometimes it’s a
compromise to set the low idle and still have enough highidle. make sure the idle screw drops off the cam completely. You might need to bend the linkage rod slightly.
