My 1979 J10 with almost 90k miles will start up and run fine, it will climb hills and accelerate for 5 minutes. After that it starts to bog down and I have to let off the gas in order to not kill it going up hills and trying to go faster than about 40 mph. I have 4-5 psi of fuel pressure and I have .5L of fuel every 30 seconds so I don't think fuel getting to the carb is the problem, could it be the carburetor? It has the Carter BBD 2 barrel carb in it. I have taken it apart and cleaned it, not rebuilt it, and everything seems to be working fine. I am not sure how to tune it but I don't think that would cause this problem. Additionally after I turn it off, it will not start! I am 16 and have no experience with carburetors so anybody that does, PLEASE HELP!( I have also dropped the tank and cleaned all the lines, so that would not affect it either.)
