I tore the jets out this morning and cleaned them and put them back. At it is running great. I put the air filter back on and it still ran but not as good. I need to replace the file and clean all that out. I drove around and was find but after a few miles it started dieing again when I took my toot off the gas. I'm guessing the idle jets got clogged again, from more crud. I'll do this a few times more to see if it will clean out.

Have you changed out the fuel filter yet?

I've seen water in fuel act that way in carb vehicles.
It will settle to the bottom of the tank when the vehicle is not moving. Then when driving mix into the gasoline when driving. Under a load the water will accumulate on the filter screen blocking the gasoline. After it sits for a while the water will settle out and down to the tank or in the lines.
You won't find any water in samples taken at the carb since the filter is blocking it. Maybe why the Seafoam seemed to help a little. May have to tank.
It will drive you crazy trying to figure out.
