well a couple of weeks ago i posted that i think my float level was too low so there wasnt enough gas in the float bowl and it was boggin and diein going around turns so i pulled the carb apart andre adjusted the float level higher it drove fine for a week and now the darned thing is doing it again. could it be still to low? only does it going around turns but when i give it gas the thing is fine. any ideas ------------------

Inline fuel filter? Screw in to carb type or rubber hose clamp type?
Could also be a clogged pickup inside the tank. If it is a screw in filter replace it with an inline hose clamp type I had problems with flow on the screw in type multiple times. Good luck!------------------

eh i dotn think its either, i just replaced the fuel sending unit about three months ago. theres a fuel filter before the fuel pump thats about months old. and theres a fuel filter before the carb thats brand new with the rebuild of the carb like three weeks ago. it was fine before the rebuild the only thing i did was change the float level so i out it back. i changed the level to factory specs according to the rebuild kit. so now the float is really high. and it bogs going around turns. oh yea its an autolite 1100------------------
