Leaning out could cause it to, which is essentially what would be
happening if your carbies run dry due to insufficient fuel flow. What
would also point to dry carbies is when you say that after you make it
splutter at high rpm, it will keep doing it at low rpm for a bit until
the carbies fill up again. I have had the exact same problem, lucky
enough to have it on the new england highway in the middle of the
night and in the middle of nowhere, and the symptoms were almost
identical, managed to limp home by blowing petrol through the filter
with my mouoth in the wrong direction to backwash the crap out (yum
yum)
