well i blew all the fuel lines with compressed air ,they are clear.pulled the top of the carb off to ckeck the needle and float assembly.fired the electric pump up and every thing was working good.then i noticed the metering rods were stuck all the way open.played with them to get them loose and functioning again.flooded the engine in the process.fired her up idle was higher.adjusted it and went for a drive.no problems,never missed a beat. guess she was running super rich. guess i'll find out tonight when i pick up my daughter from work.i believe she fixed.thanks for all the ideas guys.helped me narrow it down. thanks, much appreciated.
