Still sounds like a vacuum leak somewhere...

What happens when you rap the throttle and let go...does the engine snap back to idle or just sorta settle back...

What happens when you open the throttle with the choke partially applied....?? do you get black smoke out the back??

Keep us posted...

Time to go on a vacuum leak safari....

Be meticulous in your efforts and post back with what you find...don't overlook any possibility, no matter how remote.....

Does the engine burn any oil? Also, have you done a cranking compression test recently? Have you put a vacuum guage on the engine recently?

Questions, questions...*G*

Remind me....what happens if you turn the idle mixture screws out 2 or 3 more turns (CCW)?? And that the fuel levels checked out ok?
