My aunt and uncle live in The Twins... they're trying to get me to visit... I know I'll freeze my bippy!

Anyway, sorry it's been so long. Went out on business but finally managed to drop the tank. For being original, I was shocked that it was clean. The pick-up tube was fine. There was, however, some sediment that resembled black sand. Following reassembly, she ran very well for 3 starts. Then the same ol' stuff... stalling out around town. Maybe some sediment still in the carb? I was having to spoon-feed it fuel to get it to start. I'll take it in and have it cleaned... maybe just go back to stock... the Holley has been a pain in the keister.
