    Hello, i would say its my carbs that need surgery. it starts up fine but once she warmes up it does not want to idle, just dies out. and she has bad response when under 3000rpm after it warms up.

    Help please, thank you !!!!

    factory airbox?
    typically poor response off-idle and up is due to sticking slides and some clogging in the pilots.
    without the slides going up, it wont get fuel from the main jets and starve itself to submission.

    You might want to check your valve clearances before you spend too much time fiddling with the carbs...

    If I have learned anything in life, it's that little can be gained from listening to crazy ducks. :p
