Just took it out of the garage after 7 years, it was put away in excellent condition. Just today, I took the carburetor off and cleaned it (wasn't getting gas), the fuel pump is fine, the diaphram and gaskets were in top order,the float was stuck. Now the car turns over and stays running provided I keep my foot on the gas pedal. I remove my foot and it dies. It will not idle and I am not a mechanic. I have the Chiltons book on it and any help would be greatly appreciated.
