Well, all I did was throw a cough drop down the carburetor and she quit
spitting at me.  Okay, bad joke.

The problem was that I forgot that I had replaced the head gasket
recently and had driven her only once before I started the carb rebuild. 
So, the valves were out of adjustment enough to leave at least one
valve open while firing.  

I thank you guys very much for all of the advice.  I just wish I would
have remembered the above.  It sure would have saved some time and
work.  

Regardless, I learned a bit about how carburetors work by reading your
comments (SU and weber).

thanks again,

Kevin
