i live near stockton . the carb has a little vent thing on the top of the float it is directly attached to the throttle pump i have seen that some 2100's have this and some dont.
why is this? also it has the granny 4 speed and it is tough to shift and grinds into second third and fourth bad synchro?

Sounds like your clutch isn't adjusted properly. Try lengthening the adjustable rod down below on the clutch fork. Check out a manual for the proper procedure there is supposed to a certain amount of free play when you step on the pedal, an inch or so I think.
