I pulled the card and cleaned it, check the valve lash @ .004, Ok 150 PSI compression, Reinstalled the carb and ran it on jack stands with out the air box. After choking it for 30-40 sec it ran ok at WOT but if I backed off the throttle to 1/4 or so and tried to back to WOT it would sputter and die unless I choked it. Im sure there are no vacuum leaks...Does the air box need to be on to operate properly? Also noticed a lot of compressed air coming from the valve cover hose? Valves too tight? New carb needed?
