k so come to find out somehow the duct tape i put on the mani to keep dirt out was left on when the carb was put on. dont ask how. I have been driving it for a month now and no probs untill today after i got new tires and on the drive home my idle just droped and not it wont idle smooth and when i am driving it jerks like its starving for gas. weird that it happened today but could it be the tape or you think it would just burn up? Im lost i really think i just need a pro tune up! what you guys think. ran perfect untill today and now its deiseling and throttle responce sucks now! i have gas going to the carb. IM SO LOST!

The tape probably broke loose and is at least partially blocking the intake.
