ok gang. I feel like i'm hitting the home stretch. So here's what i've got so far. I have spark. And i have started the bike. I started it several times yesterday.(11/18/13) After i started it (with the choke on) it would fire up and once i turned off the choke off it would slowly die. I would have to keep rev'ing it so it would stay alive. I came back today to start it and it wouldn't start at all. I pulled the plugs out and they were kind of black. One of my co-workers (a GM guy) suggested soaking the tips in a bit of gas. That really cleaned them up. It fired up again for a brief moment and the once i stopped nursing the throttle it of course died shortly after. I have a 77 motor and i'm still a bit confused on exactly what kind of carbs they are but i have attached a picture of the carbs i'm running. I have rebuilt the carbs myself and i pretty much put them back together the way i took them apart(same settings and all). Any threads you guys think i should read up on please feel free to throw them at me. And any first hand experience you guys feel like sharing would be killer. I have been doing some reading and i have a few ideas but i know this post will probably help me a little more.
p.s. I'm running a HH PMA
and a full pamco system
