Carb rebuilt...I’m no longer afraid to crank it!
 

2nd shot at the Rochester B rebuild...no gas oozing out..the truck idles and runs better at low speed than it has since I got it - no sputtering or spitting or dying! I don’t know what I did wrong the first time - the second time I double checked the float level and I also torqued the bowl to air horn screws to spec (70 inch-pounds). The dang choke is still hard to pull all the way out though, even after I paid attention to all the responses on that thread....

Regardless, I’m a happy guy!

Nothing like a job well done to make a guy happy! You may have to play with the positions of the bracket and cable to get it to move freely. Also, lube the snot out of the cable.

Great job! It always feels good to solve difficult problems and go home a winner! :metal::metal::metal:
