and some other good stuff

Either the choke is stuck partly CLOSED or the float setting got changed when hitting a bump in the road... Look at the thing and if the choke is all the way OPEN then take the top off and readadjust the float downwards a little.

ok I looked at the choke and its open and working just fine with the pull cable and cycles with no problem, now go ahead and slap me here but I could rebuild a Holley asleep and hogged tied and I assume to remove the top of the 2100 its just the 4 flat head screws there by the bowl and front top of the carb, and how do you adjust the bowl on this thing I mean I figure its just like any other carb but if you look straight down on this carb there is a big flat head screw in there by the float now is that to adjust or is is a screen type filter (keep in mind I have not touched anything yet want all my ducks in a row before i f*ck this up hahahaha) well i'll check back in the morning and see what needs to get done.

The thing to do with the float is to simply BEND the hanger a little.. What I do and do NOT advise is to hold the float hanger in place and have someone crank the engine till the float bowl fills up and then I can see where the actual level of the fuel REALLY is. If you do not do a "hands-on" while cranking the float assembly will shoot out of place and gasoline will go everywhere not to mention the parts shooting into the manifold...
There is one other thing to check in that carb. All of them I have ever seen had a small RED RUBBER valve for the pump system... You may be having a pump problem! Look closely at that while you are in there.
Also If you are doing a KIT REBUILD, the only parts I ever use are the needle/seat. the PUMP and maybe a new gasket.
If the carb was running good before suddenly going bad then only ONE thing is wrong with it and it does not need all the bits and pieces of the kit.
