Well I checked the fuel pump pressure and that was up to spec. But I believe I found the problem, there were some tiny rust particles that were stuck in the metering rod. So that was sticking. Re-cleaned the carb and now it is running fine again. I found the filter was not set tightly in the bowl, so there is some crap getting into the carb. Looks like I have some new rust forming in the tank. Going to have to drop it and coat the inside this time.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Glad to hear you are mobile again. Small setbacks keep you limber as you get down and get under. Helps the blood flow.
