Been a While but Here is where I am
I have been talking with a bunch of Bug Heads, and finally came to the conclusion that I needed to just start with a NEW Carb and go from there. Since I could not get the car to idle once I got it started SOMETHING was choking it out.
SO I bought a new carb, I installed it and it seems it is pushing gas way more than the other carb was before the Fuel Filter was only ever about 1/8th full, NOW it is about 7/8ths full. I dropped the carb on there....Now it won't even start, I need to do a little tweaking on the carb adjustment I think it is getting way more fuel than needed and flooding itself out immediately. Hopefully this is the last thing I need to do to get it running. Then I can get to the cool stuff of sanding the body and replacing all the stuff that is bad.
I want it to run solid before it looks good...so first things first
I also needed a few new links to info.
