Some carbs can have out of the blue problems if they sit long enough for gas to go bad.
Autolite 4 BBL and Stromberg 2 BBL can sit a couple years w/o problem.

My new Edelbrock sat a couple years and it gave me a fit tuning idle. After sufficient hair pulling I rebuilt it and it's has worked perfect ever since.

Does it smell rich when misbehaving?
