We pulled the 650 cfm carb and cleaned it well which seemed to help but not correct the issue. We are going to do a fuel pressure test next.

Thanks for the help!

While the 650 is not ideal, it should run/drive ok with it. I hope the 750 is not an Eddy 750. In any event, if you still have issues check the rubber line from the sending unit to the hard line. If it is old and brittle it could have cracks and pin holes in it, that cause air to be sucked in but typically they won't leak.
