I had 5K miles on the sled so I pulled the cylinders off and changed pistons/rings and sent the jugs off and had them ported by Don. I put everything back together and started it up. It sounded like it was down a cylinder because It had a deep drone sound and no throttle response/Bad bog from 3-7k. But seemed fine at WOT and pulled 9,200 rpms. I went through the carbs about 5 times. Testing around the yard the plugs looked "OK" Took it out for a WOT run and it immediately burned the PTO piston down. Melted down the exhaust side. Sent the jug and piston back to Don, He honed it out and I put a new piston in. Put it back together and it still sounds the same/bogs. If I stab the gas under 3K it just dies. Any ideas on what to check? I've played around with jetting and it doesn't seem to make any difference. current jetting is
