Richen up the idle jets on all three carbs. Go 1/8 turn to the rich side (CCW) on each needle, do a test acceleration run, adjust again as needed.<br /><br />If you're unable to get rid of the bog you may have other difficulties in the fuel system. Also recommend you check your compression, spark plugs, and tuneup in general, in this case.<br /><br />However, carbs out of adjustment can cause those exact symptoms and if the needles are set very lean, the bog will be quite severe. So that's the first thing to do, then report back!!!<br /><br />HTH.........ed

on front of carbs , looking directly at the carbs, they are on the right side of the carb throat... looks like a screw resecsed about a 1/8' into a tube around the screw...<br /><br />these are you mixture jets, if you turn the COUNTER clock wise, you Richen the motor, and if you turn the clock wise, you lean out the motor, wich is bad and can burn your engine really quick, i purposely richen mine a smidgen too much
