stalling out update

after fearing the worst and looking and pricing carb parts i decided to start simple and go from there, well its a good thing i did because i saved myself alot of time and money because all it turned out to be was a stuck choke . lol . a little carb cleaner and away i cruise . thanks bondo for your input on my problem, george
