<VV> Carb problem 63

[Chris C, Warwick RI]

Thanks to all.

Put the rebuilt carb in place.  Did not sync...yet.  Started the car, 
running much faster, let it run till the choke opened up.  Ran without 
stumbling several restarts till it got warm.

Both carbs now fog nicely.

The question is do I sync them up, or do I rebuild the other carb that 
seems to be working.  I am thinking leave a working carb alone, sync them 
and see what happens.

As somebody suggested I would bench test my work, if I knew how.

Thanks to all for their advice.  My guess is the problem was a combo of a 
plugged accel pump and a bad choke pull off.
