Timing or Vaccuum leak. What brand is the carb? Sounds like a possible accelerator pump and or power valve but not if its a brand new carb...

sweet. the carb isnt new. but it was off a running truck.. i changed the carb back to the stock one that cam off the 73... and most the issue was solved.. so ,, vacum leak sounds good.. question.. when i take the vacum hose off the vacum advance,( while the truck is running) and nothing changes.. to me.. that sounds like its an issue.... but what the f do i know?
