Sounds like fuel starvation to me. Disconnect fuel feed hose from carbs,
put loose end of hose in a container, turn on ignition to run fuel pump,
time it for 15 seconds, turn off ignition, measure fuel in container,
multiply volume by 4 to get one minute's worth of flow volume. You should
get at least one pint per minute. If not, start checking fuel lines,
filters and pump.
