Hi, I have searched the forums and tho some of the problems are similar, none are the same. I'm lossin it here. Comp 105 90 110 105. hard to start, have to put lever half way up and choke. get it running and wrmed and it runs like a raped ape at wot. idling doesnt happen. if i troll it runs for a few then starts to lose power, farts and dies. hard to start after that. if i hold choke in when its dying it climbs in rpm and is good for a few more mins. had carbs rebuilt. proper plugs put in at local shop. it just wont idle. dies when putting in gear too. pls help.

Your 90lb cylinder is out of specs. I'd pull that head and take a looksee at the cylinder and piston. If all is well I suspect the carbs aren't as clean as you think they are. Do a link & sync on the carbs and throttle linkage.

If you bump the choke and idle picks up its running lean at idle.
