Jon,
Carburetors are SUPPOSED to suck.....
;-)
 
Ok, now that I've said that, let me say this... the carbs you have on
there 
now *should* be identical to the ones that melted... the only difference

possibly being the main jet. You should first make sure they are
balanced properly 
(instructions are in the 65 Corvair Shop Manual, or one of the guys here
might 
give you details if you don't know how), and maybe look inside them to
see if 
something is clogging a passage. Also check for worn linkage and worn
shafts, 
and they can cause all sorts of problems, too.
By getting another set of carbs you could possibly be getting another
set of 
problems...
Just my two cents...
 
Good luck!
Lonzo... all my carbs suck just fine...
