Carb rebuild and now some new problems

Maybe your metering rod hanger is hung up on the gasket. Poke in the vent with a small pencil and you should be able to push it down and feel it pop back up. Motor shut off of course.

Thanks - will give that a shot.

Also, I just went out and adjusted the idle mixture screws again. The engine seemed to be running better - still about 20-21 inches on the vacuum gauge, however I did notice that when I operated the throttle by hand that the secondary doors were not opening when I reved it. The vacuum solenoid was holding them closed. Is that right?

I took it out and drive it again. It was fine for about 5 minutes, but when I turned around to come home and got on the gas pretty good - WOW - the problem was back definitely just as bad as before. I wasn't sure I was going to make it home without a stall.

Not good...
