[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 494719, member: 22613"] Something definitely isn't right there. Check that the throttle blades are opening fully, and at the same time. I'm not even sure that there is an adjustment on these, as the throttle shafts are joined together by a plastic coupler, which is very expensive, so don't break or lose it if you have it apart. You'll also want to get a timing light and verify base and WOT timing, there should be a decal on the air box with those numbers. It's pretty simple, you can use the starter motor, pull the plugs, leave them in the wires and tie them up with wire so the spark has somewhere to go, and run the carbs out of fuel. [/QUOTE]
