riding one of those bassets must be like riding a Harley.....

You owe Basset Hounds everywhere a big apology!

You guys kill me. Awesome to see a carb cleaning solve the problem.

Bassetts can actually corner.

It's less a problem of running like a dog and more of a problem of running like a dog carrying a jockey.

OK, you talked me into it.

Maybe he has an "L"?

The one on the right looks like he's messed up on something.

OK, would someone please tell me, ... exactly what is wrong with "running like a dog"?

I guess it all depends on what kind of dog it's running like. Bassist Hounds don't look like they have a smooth ride.

Jusedses, do it all it's just routine maintenance.

I will be willing to bet that if you adjust the valves, too, it will run that much better.

Hooray! Thanks for reporting in- it might inspire others!

Well, I finally got the carbs cleaned and back together. Like many said, no need to buy new jets or anything. Just stripped, cleaned, and re-synced. Thanks guys! She's running like a dream now

...Buy new jets; BUT the real answer is to strip and clean the carburetors and blow out the passageways and then install new jets... full kits would like be a good idea. That will most likely cure your ills.

Yep, strip, dip, and thoroughly clean the carbs. No need for new jets. Just remove and clean the ones in it.
