carb problem??
I have 77 SB L48 and when I put my foot in it, it bogs down to the point of stopping completely. I am thinking of replacing the carb, but could it be something else causing the performance problem? I want to make sure I look at everything before I spend tall $$ for replacement Where is a good place to order new carb?

Whoa don't go replacing the carb just yet. Sounds like a couple different things might cause that and they are just adjustments.
First, does it do the same thing no matter if the engine is cold or hot and running for a while?
The first things that come to mind are choke, timing, and accelerator pump...which can be replaced instead of the whole carb.

i had an 84 camaro with a rochester that did the same thing. the carb needed to be rebuilt, there was an internal leak. might not be a bad idea to check the fuel pump and your filters as well.

Thanks. Hot/cold.running for a while, it still happens. The cost of the new one is not cheap. I will check the three items you suggested.
