Are you sure it is the carbs? It could be a plugged gas tank vent, dirty fuel filter/petcock/line, or even an electrical issue. Can you give more information on how/when, and how long it is bogging down?

Thanks for the help. I changed the spark plugs and now it runs great. They did look that bad but the resistiance was bad.
