IML: Carter AFB running Question/2 Budd calipers on the way fr.calipersonline

["Chris Strohmeyer" <chrisstroh@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi again experts,

I'm having a running problem that I still think is carburetion.  It only 
idles ok, and runs erratically at say 2500 rpm.
This is what I've done so far:
Changed distributor, cap,rotor, wires and plugs. Also have tested it with 
another coil-same results. I've checked voltage to the coil too.
I've checked the compression cold and get 125 per cylinder across the board. 
The engine has about 30 k on it.
I've also sprayed/checked for vacuum leaks, it seems solid.
I have personally rebuilt the carb with a kit and have had the top off once 
to check to if the float level was ok..etc.
What I'm suspicious of the way the fuel looks going down the primary at a 
steady 2500 rpm.  It sort of drools unevenly in both venturis.  The 
"sucking"  sound it makes is not uniform.  I thought instead of slurping or 
drooling in, it should look more like a vapor going in.
When I shut it off and look down the carb it stays dry like the float level 
isn't too high.
I rebuilt the carb first because it ran this way before I did all this 
stuff. This still "feels" like a fuel problem.  If I had a spare good carb, 
that would certainly prove it.

Any thoughts?
Thx,
Chris
