[QUOTE="Bobo, post: 83927, member: 2400"] I'd first run 1oz./gal of fuel of Seafoam through one or two tanks. If it "runs fine" until it stalls, then the channels in the carbs should have flow and I'd just clean out any "carb boogers" that might be roaming around in them. And I'm really thinking you've got an intermittent vacuum leak. Have you replaced the large O-rings at the bottom of the alum. intake elbows? If they're original they're flatter than pancakes and should be replaced. That's the first place I look for vacuum leaks in Wings of our vintage. Inspect the upper connections of those same elbows for soundness and tightness, too. This is why I like to synchronize my carbs at least once per riding season. Not only is carb synch'ing important to getting the most balanced performance out of our Classic Wings, but it's an easy way to check for vacuum leaks, by cylinder. You do it when the engine is warmed up anyway, but I leave the gauges attached for another 10-15 minutes after adjusting the carbs to let it get warm enough to kick on the fan and warmer, check the vacuum at idle, but also at 2,500 rpms and hold it there, an approximate road speed.
