I've adjusted idle screws in and out, checked timing , don't have a clue whats going on! can anyone offer up some things to check?
thanks , joe

Sounds like it might have something to do with float level or accelerator pump.

Jets clogged or power valve stuck?

The site below has great info on the autolite/motorcraft 2100 carburetor, might help, before you rebuild the carburetor did you have the same problem. if not It really sound like a accelerator pump issue - when you rebuild the carb did you replace the rubber plug/check valve between the accelerator pump and carburetor main body, if so you might check it for sometime it may get torn when you pull it through the body, also check the spring location and how it seat into the accelerator pump. Did you put the check balls/rods back into the same location they came out of. wrong place and it will not run very good. If it has the same issues as before you rebuilt the carb, clogged jets and passages, venturi tubes and passages might be a issue. Im pretty sure the link below will help you find whats going on, One of the better ones I've seen on the 2100.
hope it helps Brian

Re: need help with autolite 2100 carb
thanks too all for input, I found the problem, it was the power valve on bottom of float bowl, someone on the 'other' ford site suggested I check this as he had a similar problem with a cheap carb kit, so I took off carb and put gas into float bowl and it ran right through, I put the old one back on and its running fine. I bought the kit from a zone so I'm going to have a conversation with them today!! going to try to find a MotorCraft kit today.
