Don:

My 83.5 has a metal connecting fuel line fitting right above the
tranny/starter area. Mine had a severe clog once in it. It caused
the fuel line right before the fitting to break and fule streaming
out like crazy. Once I fixed the fuel line I found some boost in
engine power. Looks like you are close to find the problem.
