Lots of good pointers have been laid out for you. I'd suggest that you
use a timing light to make sure the advance is working properly as the
revs pick up. Make sure the distributor cam is lubericated on the shaft
and can advance freely as the engine speeds up. If the cam is
intermittently sticking that could throw the advance off.

I'm about to slit my wrists trying to figure out why my eldo won't run well and noticed something odd, when I put my hand over the left cylinder header and crank the bike (spark plugs disconnected), I feel more suction than exhast, feels like its going to suck my hand into the pipe. Is that normal? I have completely and throughly cleaned the carbs, I get spark, wiring appears to be in good shape I have the aircleaners off currently, gas is flowing though if I blow into the fuel inlets on either carb, it does take a little effort. I remember when the bike originally began running bad, I noticed my generator had slipped in its cradle and was straining its wiring, but the wiring still looks fine, the gen. light goes out when sufficient revs are reached and I do have spark (not sure how strong).
