There should be two fibre washers between the manfold and cylinder heads? I think I only have 1 thick washer.
My bike runs great when first started, UNTIL it warms up. I took the distributor out yesterday and the springs are VERY loose. As a matter of fact, one spring doesn't even make contact until the advance is almost completely open.
I also noticed my right carb is missing the bolt to that clamps the carb to the manifold. It's pretty tight anyway, but I suppose that is a possiblity too.
Thanks for all the suggestions everyone, I'll keep working at it.

Carb related. Make sure no air leaks. Do you have the fibre spacers between the manifold and the cylinder heads? Needs to be two of them.
By the way....my bikes tend to "sputter" a bit until they are nice and warm. In my opinion the bikes are not "fully warm" after 3-4 minutes. What happens to the bike after 15 minutes of riding? Be sure that they are "fully warmed up" before making any assessments.
Wouldn't "missing" be too lean?
Interesting...
