Do the simple things and eliminate those first..maybe find the answer therein. Do you have an electric fuel pump (with 2x2, I assume you do?). If so, what is pressure setting pounds !

BTW...this may seem elementary, BUT make a check list and check off 'things' as you go along and like a map will keep you on track and possibly lead to solution. If you are like some of us with older/fuzzy brain cell, maybe helpful
Thanks for the help!now the parts are ordered..i need to wait since i live in Italy and some parts like carb parts need to be ordered in the states!my fuel pump is the stock 8ba ....in the carbs i have only metal screens so the air is free..i was thinking to start with no ballast since i have 2.3ohms in the primary coil.....i need to remove the ballast....by the way first thing i do is to put that ngk b4l plugs ..........for the carbs i ordered #69 power valves ...some .041 and .043 jets....
