Hopefully someone can help me out, been battling this for a while.
76 Shovel, kick only, stock internals +.010 over, Super E carb, Dyna S ignition, teardrop air cleaner, drag pipes with baffles.
The bike has sat for about a year, if I put new plugs in it starts and runs good, idles well, it pulls decently, after riding for about 20 minutes it starts to feel like its not sparking, and then struggles to stay running without throttle and then it dies and I cannot get it started again. The plugs are sooty black fouled. Even after cleaning them I still can't get it to run again just after pulling them. I have thoroughly checked timing, advance, all ignition components, valves and pushrods, I know its something to do with the carb I just don't know what, I have tried reducing the jet size to the lowest I can find thinking its running too rich which it is, but I can't work out why.
Let me know if you have any thoughts, appreciate your time.
