    Now that's a long sentence! lol.

    I would start by doing a search on here for pickup coil wire fix. Sounds to me like it might be a problem, as well as running too rich if using the enrichener (Choke) won't start it when it's cold. You could have a dirty enrichener circuit in your carbs. That jet is actually in the BOWLS of your carbs.

    If the pickup coild wires are good, then I would lean towards the float valves not seating and letting way too much fuel get into the motor.
