Re: moter will not rev consistantly

it could be a lot of things, link n sinc, as mentioned, compression, spark, clogged carb,,, fuel pump gas tank vent not completely open. fouled plug. i voting partially clogged high speed jets.

is it running on all cylinders, with engine running, insulated pliers, pull 1 spark plug wires one at a time, then replace. it should change rpms equally when each different wire is pulled. and pick back up when reattached. if it doesn't that cylinder isn't running.

it doesn't seem to be a fire problem, and i put a new fuel pump on. i cleaned the carbs but i have not located the high speed jet.
