Hey Vonwolf, What happened to the project ? Looks like last post was 2009. I have read all your posts and am left hangin. Now working on similar problems...my 84 Venture sat 8 years, runs on choke only, getting down to the Pilot/Idle jets, acts like starving for gas, wondering if fuel pump is sending enough pressure. One of your comments seemed to indicate you could see the Pilot "screws" before pulling the carbs off and you lost me. Looking for comments from anyone.............
