Fuel leak wasn't a Rochester thing after all. Turns out that I replaced the needle, seat, and float - leak went away.

Hesitation at acceleration came back. Messed with the accelerator pump rod more. Upped the curb idle speed. A fast idle, but almost no hesitation. Test drive was ok but engine would "diesel".


Took another look at the timing. Dialed it in, again and adjusted curb idle speed to 800 rpm. I think that's right. Sounded good, better than before. And no "dieseling".



Test drive was good. Even had accelerator response. I probably need to adjust air/fuel mixture. But, until then, time to drive it a while.
