Ok, here's a wild theory. Assuming you've cleaned the filters and all as
others have suggested and still have the same problem, try checking the
floats. If the float chamber vent is piped into the back of the air
cleaner, as it is on my aftermarket ones, anyway, an overflowing float bowl
will soak the air cleaner (better than dumping fuel on the exhaust pipe)
giving your carbs a nice rich mixture of gas and air through the air intake.
Just a thought for whatever its worth,
Bob
