Exhaust gasket is replaced and now it syarts right up and idles well but as soon as you give it gas it just wants to die. So what am i over looking?

i no it sounds like bull but it not
if the lid not on or the tube the goes from the carb to the air box is not clamp on or the air filter is not in or out of place it will do that
in short its going to run len

yup, one up from the bottom is the middle

hahha swimmingfree........you ran yours on the bottom all right ..........then it puked up its piston

maybe you have a leak around the manifold, taking those carbs on and off cant be good on the orings. I say this because i think mine is leaking there too with the other gaskets. i put some silicon on there this morning waiting for it to set. you might try that if you are out of options

the faster it gose the faster it gose boooom
