If it ran good before you pulled the Carbs, and now runs sluggish, chances are the problem is in the carbs....I would re-pull and check them. Make sure you don't have the floats in upside down (which is easy to do) Check your main jets for crud that might have been sucked up after you did the cleaning (has happened to me)

I love the 48 spl. A solid motor, easy to work on, and reliable. I've been having my own issues of late with powerpack upgrade, but think I might have figured it out.

I would double check your carb work first

If the carb work doesn't do it, when you have it running pull one plug wire at a time and see if the cyl's drop equally. You may have an ignition prob.

Thanks when I cleaned the carb I left out the gasket on the nozzle by the float now runs great thanks for the help.
