Minkuni Carb Help!

Yes I think some clarification is needed as to the problem.

If it bogs with choke closed, does it run with it half open, or still bog? Mine is set normally in the middle position, I just leave it that way. Occasionally it seems to run rough and I need to reposition the choke.

Can you not drive this thing at wide open throttle at all no matter where the choke is?

Also, I'd ask what kind of gas you're using and how old it is? The book says these things want 90+ octane. I have 87 in mine and if it sits in there for two long it runs like crap.

I think it is imporant to note you have replaced your original carb with a mikuni unit as it seems that was lost a little throughout the thread.
