Ended up putting a new Holley carb, fuel lines and tank to be sure. Ran much better but ended up drinking with timing and its roaring again.
Apparently sitting a year and a half is hard on it because it looks like I'm going to need to put in some u joints soon.

Do the u joint before they go out. Dads had a couple come apart and it is hard on shit. Last year one came apart on a big ass Deere articulated tractor who like 400 hours and tore a fuel line and burned it down on the highway.
I don't know anything about it because dad refuses to own them, but dad HATES Holleys. He said the only good thing about Holleys is you get good at rebuilding them through repitition.
. You can see the hate in his face when you say the word Holley.
