"Eddie" AFB carb issues..

After running it, before starting it up the next day, remove the top and check for fuel.

If there is no fuel, heat is evaporating the fuel. (Thick carb gasket under the carb?)
Fuel pressure gauge?

Next would be carb settings along with distributor settings. Which should work together. How far open are the butterflies on the primary's? The idle slot should show as a recangle, close to a square. Not uncovered.

Idle trim screws 2 turns out? (Or so....)
