Re: Been through everything, What am I missing?

I must say it does indeed sound like a fuel starvation (delivery) issue from the symptioms.

I'd say fill the float bowls with fuel so it'll run a few seconds, then disconnect the fuel line at the carb and put it into a clear bottle so you can see what's happening. Fire the motor so it'll run for a few seconds using the residual fuel in the carb.

You -should- get a strong and steady flow of gasoline into the glass jug. If it's anything but an impressive flow of fuel, I'd imagine you've confirmed it.

Goes without saying, but gasoline is evil and dangerous. Be paranoid and safe around it.

(BTW, if its q-jet, don't forget the filter and screen in the inlet of the carb itself)
