Default Re: poor acceleration

Buickguy, Thanks again. Help an old dummy out here. If the jets were clogged, or partially clogged, then wouldn't that cause a gas starving situation rather than a flooding situation? If I understand at all, I was thinking that a misadjusted float would cause flooding by allowing more gas into the engine than it could burn. Also, if the needle seat was clogged or had debris in it it might keep the gas flow from being cut off. I don't know. Just guessing. It looks like I'm going to be taking the carb apart, and I don't know the proper float level. Is there a diagram somewhere I can look at? Again, the engine runs O.K. at low speeds but the problem arises when trying to get up to faster speeds.
