Lynn, I had that same problem on a Boss Mustang that you described. The car ran fine one day and the next it ran on half of the carb. Started it up and revved it up to 2,000 rpm . Put your hand over the carb to stop the airflow , Mine had an air bleed plugged and it sucked whatever it was out and ran fine ..

Thanks for the suggestion. I did try that when this first happened. Can't do it now because I am running my spare set of carbs, so these are not on the car. There are three air bleeds on each carb. One for idle, and two for cruising. The idle and one of the cruising air bleeds (the one referred to as the "main air bleed" or "main correction air jet" are removable. The third tiny one is not removable. Very strange. Don't have time this weekend, but when I do get a spare day to play around with these carbs, I will dig in and see what I can find.
