I am working on a 97 250 I just picked up with a little over 5k on the speedo, so it has not moved much. So far I have changed the fluids. Removed a cleaned the carbs. Hours in an ultrasonic cleaner with water and a product called natural way. It is an orange degreaser I have had good luck with when I do the magna carbs. Ordered new tires and a couple lines. Now the problem. When I picked it up it would start a run with choke for about 45 seconds. The cleaning of the carbs helped but. It starts right up, little choke. Let it run for a minute shut the choke off adjust the idle to just over 1k, purs like a kitten. 2 minutes later, it is acting like it is running out of fuel. Give it some throttle 5000 rpm no problem. But she keeps bogging out and dies. Then it will NOT restart for about 1/2 hour of being left alone. I have used carb cleaner to check of vac leaks and did find one between the the air box and carb. Cleaned that up, no difference. I don't want to pull the carbs again
