Hello everyone, I got this motor as an evening project for after work and for when I'm not busy with school work. So far this is what I've done. I've rebuilt the carb with a carb kitf and used a parts cleaner tank to get things as clean as possible. I have also installed new coils, points, plugs, and condensers and I also installed a new fuel pump. I did reuse the old plug wires but they tested out fine. The issue i'm running into is once I get the engine started (5-6) pulls it runs very well, it idles well it accelerates fine, however if I leave it running at a set rpm for a few minutes and then try to accelerate the throttle quickly, it stumbles and dies. Most times I can save it and keep it running by feathering the throttle then slowly increasing it. After I do this the throttle response is decent until I let it idle for some time again. All while doing this the bulb on the fuel line stays hard, so I know the fuel pump is doing it's job. I also had the low speed jet set to 1 1/4 turn out from the start, I opened it up more but it didn't seem to make a huge difference it affected my idle but didn't remedy the issue.
Any ideas on where to go from here, would be awesome. I hate to take it to a shop and have them figure it out. That would ruin all the fun.
