It started to stall but then it started to run a bit better. Slight back fires and engine started to run smoother. Put in half a tank of gas and took it for a rice. Better not perfect. Will pull the carb and clean it out.

Try shooting the exhaust pipes with a digital temp gun and look for one or more with low readings, then you will know where you need to concentrate on.
You can pull one spark plug wire at a time and see if there is a change or no change in your idle...then go from there.
People who don't run the carbs dry before storing can get that white crust in the bowls that sooner or later break off and run thru the carb blocking the smallest passageways. |

Ok still having problems
Switched plugs, 3&4 running normal hot, 1 and 2 exhaust pipes running cold Rechecked valve adjustment. Put in plugs I know ran...ok
Cleaned Jets out side on my Duel Dells ( did not open up the Dells ) did have Distributor issues before I put the Bug to sleep for the winter.
Used Snail to check both carbs running fine. Thinking may be fuel. Will check if they are getting gas. Raining will advise tonight. .
