Thanks for the ideas. Forgot to mention fuel filters, air filter brand new. PO did that before i bought it. Most fuel restriction problems i've seen happen at WOT rather than other way around. Not sure what plumbing in a fresh jerry can would help but it sure would not hurt. I may try it.

I took the Linkage off the IP throttle lever and the Pedal linkage. This should make the IP throttle lever at idle position and car should idle at 650 to 750 rpms with this linkage off right? Well car does not idle well. Should i adjust the idle screw on back of IP? My concern is what would wear or make that come out of adjustment so?

Thanks.
