If you have stock carbs, check the idle valve on the side of the carb 
is working properly. To do this turn the ignition on without starting 
the engine then pull the wire off the 3 & 4 side carb and listen for a 
click as you touch the wire to the terminal.

You can also pull the same wire off the other side while the engine is 
running and it should die if it is only running on 1 & 2.
