Welcome to the forum..



Take the carb out and check the carb and manifold with a straight edge. It needs to be bolted down evenly or warping and leaks can happen.



Check the mixture screws by closing them with the engine running, if the engine stalls then they still work.



Mechanically operating a vac secondary carb isnt very good. You need to over-compensate with the accell pump/shooters
