Also may want to check your fuel line and make sure it is not kinked.

plugs changed,
Tested with and without YICS
Squirt test for vac leak was inconclusive so i took the top off the front carb ( cleaned and rebuilt 2500kms ago) and guess what... RUST... fine rust dust. the front was 10X worse than the back carb. Any idea why that happens?
anyway, i stuck a magnet into each float bowl and removed as much of the rust as i could but i guess the damage is done. I think it is time to park for the winter and start maintenance procedures.
I guess i should probably Bite the bit and buy the por-15 kit for $110. what are your thoughts on this kit?

Raj, do you have a fuel filter on it?  If not go and get one for $1.50.  Cheapest insurance for clean fuel supply to the carbs.
Keep it upright and she'll always be happy!
