I had the exact same thing happen a couple of times. Once is was a really dirty carb. Just took it apart and cleaned out all the crap in it. Worked like new.

The first time it was hooked to the ported vacuum, and switching to manifold vacuum was a huge improvement.




When I rejetted the carb I first cleaned the beejebus out of that carb (I had bought it new but after a year or so it built up some crud in the bottom of the bowls). I could try cleaning it again since it's sat since I cleaned it (early last fall) but I'd rather save that a last-resort ....

I had been reading elsewhere on the board about going directly to manifold vacuum- I might try that too but again I'll save it for the last resort thing (probably before the carb cleaning...)

Edit: if it makes any difference, I've got a manual trans....
