Default Re: new engine start-up problems

OK here is the latest:
-Unplugged the outer carbs and then covered their inlet with tape.
-Checked voltage at the coil and it's got 9 volts.
-Tried to fire again but it acted exactly the same.
-Cut the pressure regulator to it's lowest setting (.5 lbs) and even drained the bowls of the outside carbs.
-Just like last night, it goes from firing and sputtering for 10 secs to nothing on about a half dozen attempts.
-Plugs look wet, but not sure that tells me anything since it's pumping fuel but not firing - of course they're wet.

And no I am not running stainless from the firewall to the carbs. I bought one of Charlie Price's stainless lines that comes from the mechanical fuel pump (with the regulator in between).

So, gents, what say ye? I'm lost.
