Ah HAH....
You may have hit the nail right on the
head here, Jens...
"If (my engine...tuned or not) cannot SUCK (produce enough vacuum) to
open a pair of HS2's....."
EXACTLY!!!!
It is time to "begin at the beginning", Jens.
As in MAJOR tune-up.
Step one is checking engine "mechanical
health"....
with valves properly adjusted...time for
a basic compression & leakdown check.
Considering recency of engine work, you're looking for 150 or better on
compression check and leak-down
rates of less than 10%.
Remember to hold the butterflies fully
open (accelerator pedal fully to the floor)
during the compression check.
Hold the posts on carbs from other listers,
though, as there may be carb mechanical problems as well...so don't
ignore these...
just hold them in abeyance for the time
being.
As to burning out coils...methinks yet
another problem on the "ignition side" of
the application awaits us in time. :(:(
