Could it be running lean? Did you compare the jet size from the original carb? Rochester has a rebuild site, I believe. Try Rochester Qjet on the Google search engine and see what comes up. Sorry I can't be of more help but I have never had that happen.

Sounds lean - I'd throw out the rottenchester and get something else...
