Tom,

The design of the union on the carbs is such that the carb first in the sup=
ply line will hog fuel from the 2nd carb when delivery is limited.=20

First do a delivery volume check from the union at the 2nd carb. Then compa=
re that to the same check to the first carb.=20

I=C2=A0 suspect that you will find that total supply is insufficient.=20
