AFB starves on the secondary side
When it starts to back off, kill it and coast to a stop, Then check the fuel level. I can imagine the fuel level is low causing a lean condition. Maybe a restriction/filter issue or pump issue. I had a carb do same thing (sort of) and it had a glass fuel bowl (nikki carb) so I shut it off when it bogged and looked, the fuel level was down 2 inches to the jet. Faulty electric pump.
Question: How does the AFB secondary door stay shut with no counterweight..or no secondary door at all?
