Hi all. looking for info on correcting issue with carb. The only way i can start car (4 bbl carb J code) is priming with Carb choke cleaner. After a quick couple sprays it starts right up and after 1 minute of acceleration it idles fine. As long as the engine is warm it also starts right up. I recently replaced fuel tank, fuel filter, wires and plugs are good, blew lines and fuel pump seems good-didn't change though. I had rust in tank but was told pump should be fine.
Do i need a rebuild on carb or just a tune up on it? Mabye adjusting the air/fuel screws? Or a new fuel pump-which i kinda doubt. Also running points still and they seem fine too. Note when i hit the pedal when cruising at speed limit it stutters for a split second then takes off. The more i read this it seems i need a tune up on it....any help would be appreciated. Thx all.
