Joe,
    Remove your fuel pump (glass) bowl, and see if there are any little black 
specs settled in the pump.  You may have a fuel delivery problem, and our 
fuel tanks are a notorious cause.  They were painted by the factory, but the 
paint's lifespan is over, and it flakes off and is sucked into the fuel line, 
partially or completely blocking it.  It may have reached your carburetors as 
well, blocking a high-speed jet or even a float needle and seat.
