So, after taking some time off for the holidays, I got back to wrenching on the truck.
I pulled the carb again and tore it down. Cleaned the interior out fully with carbon tet. spray cleaner (again) and rechecked everything I had done so far. Rechecked all the gaskets I had replaced to be sure nothing was upside down or torn, rechecked all the linkage, cleaned and checked all the ports and to be sure they weren't plugged, and replaced the choke pull off and its vacc line with new stuff (I'll also replace the timing advance vacc line once I have the carb rebuilt) . Rechecked the (new) float and fuel inlet needle. Needle seats easily and the float is set at 11/32's of an inch below the main body. I might luck out and find it was a bad vacc line but something else caught my eye while I was going through the instructions of the carb kit. One thing I overlooked was the Pump Discharge Check Ball and Cover Screw (located underneath the float assy). I don't think I got a replacement ball in my kit, but I may as well take it apart carefully and clean the old ball and the cavity it sits in. I'm guessing that the check ball keeps gas from draining back to the fuel line but at this stage anything is possible. ;-)
