Set your float as the instructions call for. Dont bend anything to raise or lower your meter rod. Your carburator worked fine at one time the way it was so don't change it. Check your fuel filter installation. My fuel filter had like a check in it and it would not allow fuel in to begin with. Check your linkage for full throttle, engine off of course. Mine is an auto trans (Turbo 350). The auto trans kick down cable was adjusted too tight and was not allowing the carburator to open fully. Ignition coil or ignition modules can partially fail and give you the same fuel starved feeling.
