OK we finally rebuilt the engine in my 69 Olympic and it ran great for a couple of hours. *Now when I give it gas it wants to stall. *
It will idle nice but when I give it a little throttle it bogs down like its flooding. *Any ideas?
I am thinking that my main nozzle checkball under one of those welsh plugs could be stuck.
Let me know what you think.

You say it ran good for two hours or so, and then it started to bog. *Did you clean out your gas tank? *Maybe it's bogging because it is lean? *Or it might a broken secondary clutch spring. *I would clean your carb and tank then check your fuel pump and impulse line. Hope this helps

P.S.: Do you have a inline primer on it? *They can freeze up on long runs. *I'd look at the fuel filter,too.
