    Well now i just feel really stupid!

    As some of you may remember, i was haveing a terrible time with my carbs awhile back. Had them off, and tore down at least 5 times. Yesterday i decided to make sure that my timing was ok. When i opened it up, and checked the timing, the centrifugal seemed ok, but i had no vacumn advance. Glanced over at the unit, and duh, the hose was off of the unit, and allmost through the case. I must have pulled it away on the first time pulling my carbs. Hooked it back up, and pow, the power is back. Still have an upper rpm problem, but i will work on that. MORAL of the story, make sure you check every componet, when searching for the problem.

        Yup, had that happen and hooked the fuel lines up wrong one time too. Don't feel bad.
