   Before you go to the expense and time involved in rebuilding the 
carburetor, tighten all the screws and take the accelerator pump out and 
lubricate and spread it out, it sounds like your carburetor is functioning 
properly except for the acceleration problem, which has always been a quick, 
cheap or free fix for me, of course the cars I had weren't that uncommon at 
the time and parts were readily available and new, not 40 years old.
