Check your cables and of they are tight check for corrosion.
I had the same problem 2 weeks ago. Car wouldn't start turned out to be the positive cable to the starter solenoid finally gave in to corrosion.

Oh so the car runs? I thought you had a no start issue. Is your idle to low? Load of the cam maybe? I'm not a carb guy so can't speak on it to much. But just make sure your cables are tight alternator cables tight and clean (shut up) and get back to me
