thanks guy. i got it to start(and stay running) today. the filter inside the carb was plugged. i plan on taking the in tank one out and checking tomorrow. all my problems started cause my gas gage wasnt working. pulled it out and it was rusted solid and the float had a huge hole in it. changed to a different tank and that gage worked. then truck started running funny and found out the inline filter was plugged. decided to bite the bullet and replace all the lines and filter. so now hopefully i will have it solved for good. i also think i need to adjust the idle, seems a little low when waiting at a light(stalled a few times too).carb was also new(rebuilt unit)less than 500 miles ago.
