Power Problem! Help!

My friend and I did a rats nest remove on his 85 gsl and ever sence it has like half the power, we did fallow the titorial. We thought it might be a vacuum leek but cant find it anywhere. If anyone has a idea please respond. P.S. It ran great before we removed the rats nest.

Complete guess here, but you probably removed the vacuum operation for the secondaries, and didn't make a new linkage to make them mechanical.

To search for a vaccuum leak, place a hose up to your ear and listen around the carb/intake for the leak. Works like a stethoscope and you can hear an ant fart doing this. Good luck!
