Update: The plug the guy we bought it from had in it was wrong. A new plug fixed some issues, but we still were having problems so we took off the carb and rebuilt it. When we were working on it we noticed one of the jets was plugged! If you held the new one and old one up to the light you could not see though the old one. Blew on it and it was clean again; however, we put the whole cab kit in just to be thorough. It funny because this carb looked very clean when we opened it up a few weeks ago and even sprayed some carb cleaner just to be safe, but we did not think it needed anything more. Once back together we got it started, adjusted the screws, and the thing runs like a champ. Drove it up and down the street and we are talking it to the beach it a couple of weeks. The compression was around 124 cold and a little under 120 when warmed up. I think it should get a rebuild but I want to take it out a couple times first since it’s my only running toy. Out next project is a 1977 that we are doing a frame up restoration on. It’s already stripped, frame is mostly sandblasted, and it will need some minor welding. The hope it by next summer have 2-3 to take to the beach. Thanks for the help!
Save ALL the oil stuff and parts from the carb before the carb kit, most them carb kits are low quality junk.
