problems with new carb!!

You need to turn it counterclockwise as if you were removing it. Turning it clockwise is setting the float lower.

 you did turn the screw right? not just the nut

ok guys i havent had time to mess with the truck anymore until today. so this is an update of what i have done!! i have adjusted the floats, hooked up the electric choke, set the idle mixture screws with a vaccum gauge. now the carb is adjusted to the best of my knowledge. now the problem i am still having is the truck will pull its own wieght on flat ground but going up a hill or in my case pulling it on a trailer as soon as i touch the throttle it will pop and cut off.  it will not pull itself up a incline what so ever or better said it wont pull under a load. im guessing maybe the timing is still off? or maybe its something ignition?

Sounds like it's running lean or your timing is retarded. Do you have a timing light?

[ncguy89]

i do but since i cleaned the timing tab last time it has surface rust and i cant read it anymore so i will have to clean it again with a wire brush or something.
