77 Plymouth Volare Wagon carburetor troubles

[lilstinker34]

Hi all, I've been having carburetor troubles on my 77 Plymouth Volare wagon for some time now- had it rebuilt (poorly) a few years ago but am still having issues, I'm hoping someone on here can help steer me in the right direction.

I'm wondering about a few things:
-Is it worth it to have it rebuilt again vs replacing it outright?
-If replacing, where to source parts? does anyone make new carbs for this model?
-Also if replacing, how difficult is it to do myself? I have some general experience with engines, but haven't ever done carb work specifically.

Any and all input greatly appreciated!

Start with the simple things first. What makes you think it's the carburetor? And have you bought a factory service manual for your car?

a carb just amplifies any problem with the engine. fuel injection can mask it to and extent, but not a carb

The first questions are what engine and carb is it?

I had a similar fight a few years back. After weeks of fighting, we finally found the carb had a hidden hairline crack in its base.
