    So I think I found a potential cause of my carb woes. I took out the air filter, and the foam gasket has deteriorated to dust, with large chungs resting on the screen(carb side). I'm sure I'll find some of those chunks inside the carbs.

    Have you cleaned your carbs at all yet?

    Not yet. I'm hoping to get them off tonight and take a crack at it

    I doubt you'll find them in the carbs.

    Once something gets past the filter the next stop is the combustion chamber and out the exhaust.
