Thanks for the replies folks.

blueboy5000,
I've driven at 55-60 mph for a few miles, (nothing long), many times in the past with no bad effects. I always hold the throttle for a little while at 60 and then back it off to around 50 and then twist it back up to 60 to keep the oil circulating.

Well, today I replaced ALL fuel and vacuum lines with brand new lines. Then I removed the carb float bowl and it looked good as well as the inside of the carb and the float was moving freely.

I then pulled out the jets and cleaned them thoroughly along with the float bowl.

After all that I tried starting it and again no luck. However, this time I could see fuel coming into the fuel filter and it sounded like it wanted to start.

Any other ideas? Thanks much!
