<VV> Carb problem 63

Here are the symptoms.

Car will start, but will not stay running, have to re-start several times 
to get it warm enough to stay running.   If I have an assistant CPR'ing the 
passanger side carb it will stay running until warm.

Once its warm it runs ok.  Put hand over either carb, intense pulling and 
car wants to stall.  If I pump it a few times the drivers side squirts gas 
(nice gas fog), the passenger side does not.

Swapped for another carb.  Same symptoms, but the carb was not a known good 
one.

Ordered deluxe rebuild kits, and rebuilt the orig carb.  In doing so I found:
	The carb was not filled with junk.
	2 wholes on the accel pump were plugged
	The choke pull of was not holding vac
	The float drop was completely mis adjusted by about 1/8 of an inch.

Before I re-start I was going to replace the inline fuel filter in the 
wheel well.

Anything else that would contribute to the lack of gas to 1 carb.

Thanks to all.
