misfire all of a sudden?
Got new windshield and muffler welded on the other day. About a 50 mile trip, parked it, and this morning it barley ran. I did noticed one of the welds between the cat and the muffler didn't hold. I find it hard to believe that would cause it to barley run. What happened? Coil maybe?

You have fuel coming out of the tailpipe? You sure it isn't water?
If your truck is carbureted your carb is dumping too much fuel in, if it's injected one of your injectors is installed wrong or is stuck open allowing fuel to pour in. If you are really getting raw fuel out of your tailpipe DO NOT crank your truck without removing all spark plugs as you may have a hydro-lock condition.
Confirm fuel is coming from your tailpipe.

Sounds like a fuel system problem. Restriction, pump pressure or volume. Most likely it's a carb tuning issue. Could be an ignition issue but usually this kind of problem lies in the fuel system.
Check spark and ignition timing. If your timing isn't jumping around (loose rotor) and you have spark it's time to look at the fuel filter, pump pressure and flow and retune the carb according to manufacturer specs.

Also, electric chokes do not turn 'on' the choke, 12v heats up a spring and pulls the choke open. If your choke butterfly is closed it will make your engine run rich. Manually set your choke full open if it is not hooked up to constant 12v.
Is this a Weber or factory carb?

When engines are cold they require less air and more fuel. A choke provides this service by restricting airflow into the venturi. If your choke is too far closed at idle the truck will run rough. With an electric choke, the choke will not open until the spring inside the choke housing is heated sufficiently by the 12v source to open it. While there could be many things causing this problem, a simple choke adjustment is a likely culprit for this exact issue.

I'm going to definitely check that this evening when I get home. When it does crank like it's suppose to the choke is not engaged. When it is, you know it with the weber. Rpms go way up.
