    Mysterious issue with carbs

    So I'm at the point of tuning my '71 XB1. I was getting a popping exhaust on the left (sooty, dry). I fiddled with the ignition (Pamco) and got a pretty decent idle. However it would eventually slop out and die. I checked my coil, my plug leads, my plugs. All good connections. Plugs are...

So I have to pull the plugs to get it to stop. I had run it through my key switch but I guess I didn't do it properly...??? Any words of...
