    Possibly yes. If those carbs have adjustable needles, raise them all the way. If they aren't adjustable find a small spacer to put under them. Im using. A pair of o-rings.im a little rich but now I know it's a fuel issue.

    Weak compresion Bad coils Bad plug wires Dirty points Bad condenser But my guess is the pod filters I think I see on your video. If thats what I see then your going to need to rejet.
