Edelbrock AFB Problems

I bought a rebuilt 600cfm afb from a local carb shop about 9 months ago. They even istalled it. It ran really well at first but now, it don't run worth a crap. First, I had to change the top gasket because it was sucking air and running too lean. Got that fixed, then I had to change the accelerator pump today due to a chunk taken out of the plastic shaft. After all of that it still don't run right. When I'm really getting on it and shifting into 4th it boggs on me. It also does it when going up hills, unless I slam it into 3rd. I've tried adjusting the air/fuel mixture more times than I want to count. My timing is set right at 12 degrees, have Petronix, and flamethrower, headers, 901 cam, new plugs, wires etc. I don't know what else to do to it. What can make these things go to hell like this? I am stumped!



Somebody Please Help ME!!!!

See if you can borrow someone else's carb that is working right and stick it on your ride to see if that's the problem - if it IS the carb, chuck it and buy a new one.
