PWK problems

[chevybanshee91]

Picked up a pair of 28 PWK's off ebay last week, put em on drove it around everything seemed fine and dandy until i launched it and it died before i hit 3rd gear. Started it back up eased into the gas and it died right away, and it did this about 5 times so i ended up starting it and letttin it coast back to the house. Let it sit for about 10 min. drove it again and it ran great/ pulled hard for about 30 minutes until i ended up launching it again it died before 3rd gear. Now i know that on my stock carbs i had splash gaurds and on these PWK's there are none? am i missing splash gaurds on these or do they not come with any? i know my jetting is pretty close on for what it should be. I just need help figuring out why it dies when i launch it from a dead stop.. took it to the drags today and really made an idiot of myself when it died half way down the track!

 

my specs: dune port, R2's, no lid, dual pingle, 800 ASL, 75 degrees, needle on 2nd notch from top, 48 pilot, 155 main, A/S 1 1/2 out.

One way or another it is running out of gas or overflowing if it was fine before the carb swap.

Check fuel flow coming out of tank

Check fuel flow thru carbs and make sure it will pour fuel out of you put the carb on with the line on the carb and no bowl.

Check and set the float level with the carb upside down, the float should be even/level with the body of the carb.

Make sure all fuel lines are not pinched.

Everything you said was checked. I had both bowls off and ran gas thru them, adjusted the floats according to spec. No hoses pinched, brand new pingle gas flowing fine. I can pull the carbs off after it dies and I drain out two completly full bowls. So I have the gas just seems like I'm getting an air bubble sucked it. I had it idling before and I pickd the rear end off the ground 2 inches dropped it and it died instantly....
