for diag. reasons .
Pull the fuel line off and block off it at the pump. Using a short hose and small augsilery fuel tank , give it a new fuel source and see if it changes or not .
If yes , you know something is wrong between the "tee" and the pump . If no then try adding propane gas down the carb and see if it helps or not.
You mentioned before that the PCV is plugged by someone prier to you . That makes me beleave that there is an intake leak to the crank case . If you block the fresh air side of the pcv it should richen up and not need so much choke . The intake gasket and or a flaw in the intake it self is bleading non metered air below the carb is what I suspect .
Have fun .

Re: The Projects Never End
That leaking intake manifold is kinda my fear, but I'll hope for something less obnoxious. The carb cleaner all around the base of the carb didn't show any change, so I don't think it's just the carb base gasket...
If it's the intake manifold, it's just going to live like it is for the forseeable future. No way am I going to try to remove those bolts until I can park the whole unit for a while, because odds are good that will end up with the heads pulled due to broken bolts.
