I tried cleaning the carb and used the techron, but it did not seem to help much. I've posted a few pics - they're huge, I've been told not to post big pics here- over on my personal website:
http://lyndonjscott.com/photos/galleries/carrepair/nova_292_install/ if anyone would like to take a look at the pics and the questions, then post their suggestions here, that would be great.
thanks for looking
