Howie, you may have gotten to the problem in your last 2 posts. #1 if you
have 170 mains in there with a box filter and slip-ons you probably have way
to much gas through out. #2 if the chokes don't move to fully open position
inside the carb bores go ahead and get them right before you do anything
else, or you're just waisting your time. you may just cure all your ills
right there. hope it's that simple for you.......steve
