Ok guys heres the problem. 86 120 looper starts fine. Seems to idle ok, runs at low throttle good, runs wot good, but try to run a 1/2 to 3/4 throttle and she will start to sputter and die. I then have to choke (prime) to get her going again and make sure I go to wot to keep her going.

If I go from wot to neutral she will idle fine and then I can bump the throttle up until I hit the 1/2 way mark. If I don't continue on to open her up she will crap out.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Almost sounds like it's time to overhaul the carbs maybe.
