New problem...now it won't idle without the choke on or unless I'm revving the throttle. By no idle, I mean that it wont stay on while idling. It has new gas, new petcock, carbs cleaned for 3rd time.
I did the 2 1/2 turns on the idle jets when putting them back on. I screwed them all the way in and then unscrewed them 2 1/2 turns.

Should I screw them all the way back in?

I'm about ready to just sell this thing and get a fuel injected.
Only reason I haven't done that yet is because I'm paying for my masters degree out of pocket at the moment.
