Not quite sure where I go from here.
Engine starts fine and wants to race. Have to cut the ign a couple of times
then is slows down. Then drops off and quits. This is a start without choke.
Seems like I have been through this before.
Just do not know where to go from here. No clue, not even a bad idea, throtle
bearings are tight, no movement at all. So I have a hard time beleiving air
leaks there. No fuel leaks anywhere. Throttle cable is loosish.
Chokes are all the way in, no prob there. they are up in the carbs properly,
oil in the dash pots, flats at 9.
Timeing changes make no difference.
Guess maybe the answer is new carbs, H2s if I must now. Will mess a bit more
but seems hopeless. At least from my vantage point.
Wish I had a pair of running carbs from someone close by that I could just
throw on and test. Or even send mine to someone that would throw em on and
test em out.
I am out of ideas.
