Lil help please..

I`ve got the bronco together, it runs but won`t stay running very long. I`m pretty sure I goofed the carb somewhere, likely the float level. It`s running rich too. I`m free this weekend if anyone would like to stop by and offer advice, insults, or whatever. I`d just like a lil help getting the thing running. I`m tempted to go buy a new rebuilt carb but would like to try some tuning first. My goal is the next tuttle run in sept. PM me if you`d like my address.

I would love to, but this moving situation has me in quite the bind

It's not the actual moving part, its the part where we were supposed to close 2 days ago and move into the new house, the new owner of this one is supposed to move in Sunday night, we're still here, etc.....

RRRRRRRR

All the big stuff is gone as of last night at least, we just have to rent an enclosed trailer and move all the boxes today.
