Lucky1--it's a '77, there is spark on #2.  I haven't tore anything apart.  

Lately, I've been absorbing a lot about these carburetors.  Things I didn't know about but now do: Main Jet, Idle Jet, Accelerator Pump, Float settings, and 'Timing/vacuum.'

Tomorrow after work--I'll take off the air box to check the accelerator pump, then after that clears it's check (hopeful), I'll pull the carbs out and actually clean them (last weekend I just sprayed everything with carb cleaner) so this means I'll (thanks Re-run) remove the Idle Jet screw and clean that out first and then clean out the Main Jet--did this pretty well last time (without knowing what I was really doing), but then I'll check those float distances.  They should all be good--I was mindful of that last time (my dad told me to make sure all of them looked very similar?).

Any other advice?      ....Thanks guys.
