I agree, unless someone has messed with the carb, you are not likely to have
the wrong jets. It sounds like it is running too lean, so check anything
that would prevent adequate fuel from getting in.

The accelerator pump is not working right. It probably needs to be
replaced. Look in side the carb and work the throttle from idle to full
open. You should see a steady stream of fuel come out of the squirters. If
not or very little then thats your problem. Another cause could be clogged
squirter circuits.

Please respond to
"Gary Perry"
I'm driving my 54 two-ton again and it's going good now that I found two
cylinders barely firing or not. New plugs got that better. The truck seems
to
pop/pop as I drive, like popcorn muffled in a pan. Timing is on mark, vac
disconnected to do it. If I pull the choke out 3/8", it clears up, runs
great!
SO, that mean wrong jets? or is choke partially closing maybe when I think
I'm
really shutting off? It responds better w/out being overloaded rich acting,
actually accelerates a few mph as I pull it out, and better running
overall.
Any ideas what's happening?
