Tim, I think you are on the right track, it does sound like fuel starvation. I
had a similar problem after installing Solex carbs on my motor. Turned out the
fuel return line was taking too much gas back, the rear carb was starving. It
would run good for about 30 seconds, then started to lose power. I put a small
diameter pan head screw in the opening of the steel return line and reattached
the rubber hose, problem solved. Good luck, Dewey
