It did have somewhat of a rhythm to it, yet next time I laid on the fuel it would go away, then after accelerating ( normal ) it would come back.

Today being the first day of little to no rain here it did act up a little this morning. I laid on the throttle pretty heavy more than a few times. I has definitely kinda cleared up. On the way home from work it was even better with only one or two stumbles right after warm up and then all clear on the way home.

Weird??? I am going to work on the fuel line issues, they are the old rubber hoses. This weekend I will check fuel pressure and blow out those areas noted on the carb.

Thanks to all whom have gotten back, I was worried it would have died on me this morning going to a new position with BENEFITS the date of hire!
