Pulled the carbs out. Cleaned and blew every single hole. Changed four pair of gloves to avoid contamination. Put it back together and installed it. Nothing changed, at all.

Again, tried the starter fluid in the airbox and it ran and shut down again.

So, what's next?

I'm thinking it's the coils. I'm getting a spark, but it's not sufficient to ignite gasoline (with it's higher ignition temp). Also, FYI, I am using 18 AWG wires running to the coils. Could this be causing not enough current reaching the coils and a spark too weak to ignite gas?
