1965 305 superhawk problems
I have recently gotten my grandfathers superhawk back after being sole 12 years ago, and have put a lot of work into it to get it running. I have rebuilt the carbs and I can't get the right side to fire all the time. If I remove the air filter and some what cover the air port with 2 fingers it will pick up, but as soon as i let go it drops out again. The left carb fires just fine, I'm hoping that the carb isn't junk. new plugs new air filters. Any help or suggestions?

Incorrect float level? Needle set too low?
