So is it when you accelerate when you feel the power loss?
Does the car jerk or stall or stumble when you press the accelerator pedal quickly?
Did you have the problems before you cleaned the float bowl and everything?

i dont quite remember but there are a few O rings that need to be replaced right? did you replace the gasket and O rings correctly? maybe after removing the top hat its not sealed correctly? maybe that wasnt even the problem, but you may just want to think about getting a carb off another car, maybe you can find one at a junk yard. i dont wanna be a dousche, but its confusing somewhat to read how you type in the posts. complete sentences are easier to read, especially with periods included.

did you replace both filters? and what about your fuel pump,how old is it? it could be starting to go bad, it may be loosing volume and can't keep up at anything but idle.
