yes, tune-up basics should be done before touching the carb:

* Compression test (wet test & dry test)

* Initial (static) timing

* points dwell

* Spark plug gapping

 

If that all checks out fine, then proceed to the next phase:

* Voltage drop test of coil wiring

* Visible inspection of spark plug wires & cap

* Visible inspection of vacuum hoses

* Inspection of ventilation hose (rocker cover hose & PCV hose & valve)

* Inspection of the tank (fume control) system

* Fuel pump volume test (which is more important than the pressure)

 

After all this, you might find the problem and now it's runnign great! If that all checks out well, but still not running good, you are ready to tackle the carburetor. The reason is that any of the above can mimic carburetor trouble, but is much easier to fix/test than the carburetor itself. So do the basics first.
