Played with the timing today no joy. Both carbs checked out and she is still not running right. Plugs and points are good. Any other ideas?

Yes. I'll give you $25 and a half eaten ham sandwhich for it......

Man......... if the carbs are good.....what about the petcock and the fuel lines? Disconnect the fuel line from the carb, abd blow backwards, into the tank, with the cap ON. Can you do it? Does it feel restrictive?
