Sounds like a plugged main jet.
Try this.
Manually rev the engine to around 1500 rpm and put your palm over one carb. 
I mean completely block it. Do it to the other one. Repeat again. This will 
often unplug a clogged jet. Maybe not...

Hey guys,
real quick, if I tighten the carb needles in all the ways, doesn't that mean 
there's no fuel allowed in?

here's the deal, I can't get my engine to run smoothly and run reasonably 
well on gas economy. when the engines turned over; one side of the engine 
will heat up and the other side will stay really cool. I have good 
compressions, good spark, no fuel impedence in the lines or carb stone, my 
timing is correct and my points are good and set. even when I sync the carbs 
up with the vacuum gauge, one side will run hotter than the other and when 
you put your hand over the cool side carb restricting the air flow, the hot 
side will carry it, but the cool side won't carry the hot, you can look down 
the carb stack and see the hot side drawing in tons of fuel, but the cool 
side drawing in next to nothing as it idle. and when you put it in gear, it 
threaten to cut off and runs look someone's slinging a ston around in the 
back. (the transmission is good) I've been on this for hours playing with 
the fueld needles and idle screws, please help me?

also, does anyone know where I could get some velocity stack that would fit 
the single carbs?
