After taking the engine out of storage for 30 hrs, replaced trigger and stator due to disintegrating wires. Replaced most of the wires in the internal wiring harness. All new fuel lines, rebuilt fuel pump. Carbs were super clean on the inside so I didn't fully rebuild; just new needle and seat for each and carb base gasket.
Engine fires up and idles well, But bogs totally at 6 mph.
I noticed the cylinder bleed hose is spraying fuel at the top of the engine...so will be replacing that.
But is it likely that the bleed hose leak is the issue, or is there something else I should plan on doing after replacing the bleed hose?
