Dd you just build this engine? Or is this an engine that had been running good and just started to act up?

Checked the valves? Choke stuck?

Take that Brute Flywheel out. Exact same thing. Exact with the VDI and BF flywheel.

the chokes are good in the carbs, i dont have choke cables.

this is with the stock CDI, i cant get the VDI to fire.

valves are adjusted correctly

Nova this is the first time ive fired this engine.

Found out part of the problem was the slide springs are too stiff for not having an airbox, cut some rounds off and it got better but still not right.

hey semi sexy.. you need a stock v flywheel and the stator cover or whatever to try let me know..

Both slides flutter when you give it gas. If not one of the diaphragms is leaking and needs readjusted. If this is ok something plugging the pilots. Are these stock carbs?

One other thing, the cam with the groove around just before your lobes is the rear cam.
