Thanks for all your help and suggestions. The fluttering/gattling gun noise is just the video, the motor doesnt sound like that. Im sorry I did not get video of the motor actually dying when I left the throttle at WOT. The motor has done both, surged and died, and just died. I was afraid I would kill the battery if I kept restarting. One thing to torture myself, but I didnt want to torture the wife anymore than nessesary.

Im not sure what the difference is between the float drop adjustment and the float level, but when I disassembled the carb I adjusted the float per manual specs. I inverted the carb and adjusted float till it was level with the carb body. I also treated the float with Butyrate dope as it looked tattered. I have also changed the fuel connectors, the primer bulb, and fuel since my 1st test run.

I was getting a shock when starting the motor, I quickly insulated all the individual connections on the key switch with electrical tape., I thought I eliminated the ignition aspect when I backed off the throttle and the engine kept running. It will be easy enough to dissconnect the primary stop leads next time I go out. That tape you saw on the was for labeling purposes. I do need the correct wires, those are new 7mm but dont have the 90s on the ends.

Above is a link to a pic of the high speed jet/orafice. I did nt remove it when I cleaned the carb. I tried to, but started to mutalate it with a screw driver so I stopped. Same thing with the seat for the needle valve. I didnt know there was a special tool. I may have damaged the way the jet seats in the bowl. The cork gasket you see around the jet is pretty tattered as well . I did what I thought to be a good cleaning with an arisol can of carb cleaner through all orifices I could see in the carb. The choke was completely open when running this motor.

The mesh filter in the bowl of the fuel pump is brand new, but I will disassemble the entire fuel pump and check for debris in the check valves as well. The vents in my tanks are unclogged and open when I was testing and I checked for cracks in fuel and vacuum lines under the cowl.

I think I have address all the issues brought up in your comments.Thanks for hanging in there with me. I appreciate it. Please check link to the pic above. I kind of hoping this high speed jet/orafice looks suspect to you guys.
Thanks Again,
Jim
