Loss of power

I have an 85 spree and it was running fine for a couple weeks and after hitting a bump on the road I now have no no power after half throttle. It idles and runs fine until I pull the throttle past half way. After that it just bogs and sometimes stalls also. It runs just fine as long as I'm OK with going 12 miles an hour lol. At 1st I was thinking maybe a stuck float. But I'm gonna pull a plastic the plastics off today. Does anybody have any suggestions what to look for?

First thought...that big bump shook loose some debris and has clogged the petcock or the float needle.

I was thinking about that too. Is there a good source for gaskets?

I don't know...float bowl is the only one I would worry about finding...the flat gaskets I would just cut myself from stock or cereal box.
