This  spring I got it running, adjusted and sync'd the carbs and it ran and
idled  perfectly.  Drove it a couple miles, no  problem.  Now after  having 
it
in and out of the garage a few times its back to the same  problem, no idle,
will accelerate if pumped but not with the throttle just  opened, sometimes
it would idle a bit on the left carb but nothing from the  right.  I can
floor it sometimes and it will just bog down and very  slowly recover.

What I know is right.
Has good fuel  pressure
Carbs are all clear, or they were anyway.
It's a 65 with no  idle cutoffs, so its not that.
Vacuum advance works properly, stock dizzy.  good spark.
Adjusted and sync'd properly, as it was running and idling  perfectly just a
couple weeks ago.

Im at a loss. had these things  apart and found nothing, don't want to pull
them apart again as I cant get  the gasket kits anylonger and it didn't 
solve
the problem anyway.

I  HATE CARBS!  Woulda had this fixed if it were FI..   :-)


Any ideas?? 
 

Sounds  like it's ingested something in the right carb. How clean were the 
fuel line  and fuel tank? Is the fuel filter still clean, or is there trash 
in it? I know  you probably checked these things, but...
