Check the AAP and see if its leaking fuel into the vacuum line.

Valves too tight or too much air.

Check for vacuum leaks, spray some carb cleaner around on the base of the carb and the vacuum lines/junctions. Check the choke isn't sticking.

Has it just been the last while that it's turned arctic here? Try some Heet in your gas, might just be the carb icing up.

mide does the same... but have you noticed that it seems to hesitate on takeoff - or if manual - having to pump once or twice before enageing the clutch? - accelerator pump diaphragm (among other things) was my main culprit. replacing the carb with a rebuilt unit.....

ill have a look through for leaks. i only got the truck running last thursday so i couldnt say if its the temp. i put the carb on when it was cold so maybe i vacuum line cracked. i took the carb off and soaked it in cleaner then rem-oil to and made sure everything moved real smooth it helped a little.
