holy **** i cranked it. but sadly to say, all the work i have done, was for nothing. well not for nothing i guess. but my original roblem is still there. but once again, i may know what it is, i mean come on, theres not much else to be looking for. i had it running for a bout 15 minutes to burn out the atf and what not, and i had two frinds over helping out. well one of my friends noticed when he sprayed carb cleaner near the base of the carb, it would surge....intake leak. sure enought on the throttle rod, at the throttle linkage, at the front of the carb, is leaking. im not too sure if i explained it well enough, but its the rod, that has the throttle valves on it, and it is leaking from the front, the side facing the fan. yeah, well i figured it might have been there, and because all the emissions were connectwed and vaccums, it wasnt very noticable. well now seeing how i only have one vaccum hose hooked up, it owould be pulling more air through that one spot, making it more noticable. well anyways, i cannot fix it, ill have to just get that stage from another carb in the junkyard, cause u know how the cab disassembles in like 3 or 4 'stages'. i fixed the starting problem. it was cause by a bad connection on the battery, now its solid brass battery connectors. and i fixed the overflowing gas. get this, the new floats i recieved from autozone, SUCKED. not saying autozone sucks -thank you Greg for your help- but i had to use my old floats, that god im a pack rat. aint that sum ****?

the base of the carbs are pretty easy to swap, if everything else seems to be ok, then you should just swap out the base. we both know how complex that carb is you dont want to mess with the working part(s)

by now i know all the working parts inside and out. but yeah all i have to do is just swap one stage as i call it. but my buddy with the TII says that was probably my whole problem the whole time. what do you guys think?

met a few guys outside autozone last night, one 83 gs i think and a gsl-se. guys seemed to know a lot, and its a whole lot easier to learn about **** when someone is there pointing to ****. but i know believe i need new ignitors, just adding to the list for the junkyard trip.
