When I changed the carb o-ring and base gasket I went ahead and replaced the carb. ($200 from importcarbuerator dot com) It comes already tuned/ran and it is easy change out & good time to swap out vacuum lines. good luck
    there is a broken wire that is white with a blue line on it in the back of the carb it is broken kinda just rotted away i think this is my problem.

    im not sure tho does anyone kno what that wire goes too
