where does the vacuum hose go? that is probably why you are having the problem. Also these engines used to have a decel valve below the carb that leaked vacuum out the diaphragm. youonly need to replace teh diaphragm to fix it. but the vacuuum line that is disconnected may go to the distributor and need reconnecting.
