Give up, send it to Carl, and hope you can recoup the cost later. That's probably what I'm gonna do.

it's not the carb now. LOL it be a vaccum leak under the carb. it's around the baseplate still. i think i need to get a newbaseplate cause the gasket only helped a little bit.

or do what I did... take the carb and baseplate off, get some high-heat red silicon and use that to seal between the intake manifold/gasket/carb. Careful not to plug the little holes.

Then get some new vacuum tube, and replace any tubes that have been removed/replaced (all the ones that hit the carb gasket basically, the rest should be ok) and check the AAB hose.

A vacuum leak I can deal with... the carb ******* over I can't!
