This is normal for a 440 with too low a static ratio for the cam, and a cam that is very poorly made. What are the cylinder pressure readings? Blaming the carb is a hip-shot answer. Carb has nothing to do with it at this point, and vacuum carbs work off engine demand. If the enigne is wheezing, it wont work and tossing more fuel via accelerator pump at it wont help in the least.

Sorry, I edited it.. I missed a "4" in 440...lol

Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.
