Start with checking that the vacuum hose is on the correct nipple at the diaphragm/fuel tap. It goes to the side behind the fuel hose, not on the bottom.

Also check the vac pipe for leaks and cracks and replace if it is .
Also have you checked to see if it has fuel in it ? :Lol:

a lot of help you are Wicky

Are the rubbers that connect the carbs to the inlet manifolds done up tight? It might be worth trying another set of new spark plugs,

Could be worth checking the coil packs. The older they are can tend to falter as they get hot.
