ALL,

Thanks for the help. When i removed the clamps to shim I found the culprit. Believe it or not the boot itself was dry rotted...Actually it looks like it was pinched and then caused the breakage. I couldnt see this with the clamp on because it was on the inner side of the carb. My dumba$$ should have looked closer a few days ago Good ole Dad must have worked on it at some time or it was put on crappy at the factory.

Here is a picture. I will be ordering two new boots and four new clamps. This should fix it for sure.



Thanks again for the help and I know Oates appreciattes it too.
