First, Thanks for the suggestions. I checked for a click when the ignition switch is turned on and there is click from the selinoid. I went the next step and pulled the round green plug and ran two wires for the hot and groud for the selinoid and grounded the ground and hit the + terminal on the battery, same click.

I poured some gas in teh carb and had my wife keep her foot on the pedal as I adjusted the idel adjustment all the way open and then she took her foot off. I then backed it back to a point where it began to die and the went forward about .5 of a turn and then stopped. It is not reving over what it did before the problem but it does not run as smooth as before, but it does nto cut off. I took it for a drive, no problems when I stopped or when I let off the gas. But when I got home and turned it off, I can not get it started again. I have to pour gas in the top of the carb.

Would you say it is about time to get a professionally rebuilt carb?

Again, thanks for anyones help.

I love this old truck and just want to run.
