..umm, I guess the carb info is important.

OK, these are two 1804 Eddy 500cfm AVS carbs.

As far as going dry, they go dry! We have to use a squirt bottle to put gas in the carbs to start.

Then to keep it running, we had to keep the revs up quite high before it caught and kept running, so we have a problem.

I have an old post ( eyes watering, so gassy ),
so two problems have blended into one.
