your right beater its just plain crazy. took carb off this evening ran some small wire through the vac ports and the jet cleaned real good with carb cleaner, made a minor adjustment to the throttle plunger, said lots of prayers for the thing and it is now working better, not perfect but better. can now open the choke about 3/4 way before it starts to stumble. i am thinking that may improve with driving. it does have an issue with the icing condition at the base so i am thinking that may have something to do with it not getting enough fuel when the choke is all the way open. if that is the issue it may clear on up once i drive it for 8-10 miles and get the intake real warm. anyway thank God it is running better. thanks to all for the suggestions.
