Ok so the problem I have is.....
1)start up good..warms up..can normally back out of slip...as soon as I put it in neutral it dies.
2)will start back up, sometimes it stays running, other times may have to repeat startup...Give it throttle and then go.
3)Next is finding that sweet spot when idling up.
4)Sometime I can give it the throttle after its warms and she will take right off, other times she will die, and then have to restart and try again.
5)Then I can ease into the throttle and eventually she will take off.
6)Open throttle she is great.


My thinking is fuel filters, fuel line. Replaced plugs/wires about 6 months ago. Carbs were also cleaned.

Any thoughts or similar problems.

thanks
