The issue I am currently battling is rough start+ instant bog down and dying on idle,
I have already rebuilt the carbs recently and it made little to no change on the conditions of the running, additionally the carbs were in very clean condition.
I ran through all the fuel lines for the most part and replaced the primer bulb it keeps pressure in the line all the way up to the point in which it goes through the fuel rail to the bowls, it will keep pressure when i pump it and after it bogs down its still holding pressure in the line I verified by pulling the line off.
The carb bowls still have fuel after it has bogged down and died, I verified by running it letting it die on its own and checking if the bowls still had fuel and they did.
The fuel looks good after sitting for hours there is no visible water seperation and or milkyness in the fuel
Additionally, when i run the engine and it starts to bog down when I place cardboard over the carb throats and manually choke it she will come back to life for a short amount of time. When I pull the cardboard away after doing that a whole **** ton of fuel comes dumping out the throat as well.
Im thinking my next steps will be to look at the timing and then also do a link and sync. If anyone has any good input to push me into the right direction any and all input would be more than appreciated
