What about the ceramic filters? Are they ever an issue? Can't see any obvious clogs....
They most definitely can get clogged. Since your car was running well a day or two before, unless you filled up with some horribly contaminated gas right after the drive I doubt it would have plugged that fast. You can see the large debris and rust particles but if the ceramic has varnished over it may appear clean, you can blow air thru, but gas thru is a struggle. When I had the problem the gas would not flow more than a trickle -- just enough to keep the car idling but not enough to try and go. Carb would run out of gas shortly after the engine speeded up. When I was having the issue, generally the glass kept 1/3 to 1/2 full but never filled completely. Others have said the varnish can be cleaned by soaking in Acetone and blowing air thru in the reverse direction. I haven't tried. If you do decide that might be an issue, I advise you to get a new gasket before pulling it apart.

Duane came over yesterday and performed what may be an exorcism. It worked. One quick crank today and off I went smoothly and happily to lunch. gassed her, and am now at the computer for a minute.
With crossed fingers, thank you all for the tips. We tried getting the choke to work with the pressure needed to push your ear into your head..... Clearly it all has to do with the sweet spot!. Now to the wipers.

ok. so i assume that means choke needed adjustment.
HOWEVER, u failed to indicate as to whether it was too tite or too loose. YOU NEED TO KNOW! Because in a bout 3 months if some other problem arises then the answer to that question mite solve the future problem faster and easier. Or maybe about 9 months from now.
