Carter Weber carb problems!

I added two carter weber carbs to my 235 and I can't get it to run at full power. I only get fuel to one of the barrels on both carbs and when I hook up the electric choke the engine dies. I already removed the top of the carbs and I cleaned out the jets but still no luck. When i first put the, on I had full power and the truck ran great but the new fuel pump went out and then it never ran the same. Any help would be great!

Re: Carter Weber carb problems!

The new fuel pump went out? So what pump do you have on there now?

Re: Carter Weber carb problems!

It's has a increase in power and you definitely can feel it when you take off. It runs and drives smother than before when I had the 1 Barrel on it. I was out driving it yesterday and got so carried away I nearly lost it in a turn. TJ what do you want to see on the video?

That's cool! If you could manage a burnout..... haha. No, if you could do a running engine video and maybe a driving video showing how well it takes off that would be cool!
