2. Timing issue (possible, yet still unlikely)
3. Float height issue (very possible since this is a crucial step of a carburetor rebuild, and improper fuel level in the bowl upon a sudden increase in fuel demand will cause a lean condition)
4. Vacuum leak (very possible).
i eliminated the float issue. had my friend who is 67 and owns a automotive shop check the float for me. he said it was good and height was correct. hes as lost as me. hes one who had me compression check it told me bout float and firing order. im about to go check the vaccuum. andmaybe it will be something as easy as that. but wont it run akward and idle? mine is only stumbling at acceleration in gear.
