F*#KIN lame, & that's all 95% of shops are anymore, nobody "fixes" anything & their lack of knowledge is the primary reason why. Well, seeing Your revision, if this is a
feedback carb, the mixture control solenoid could be bad...hard to come by. That is a very familiar symptom.......................if not('79??) no,...You may simply need to
rebuild it. You could just get a "reman", please don't, they are notoriously poor in
quality and not even the correct jetting/air-bleeds for Your particular App in some cases. Don't be skeart, get a good kit and take Your time, get it good & clean and
study the instructions closely 1st.
