717cc engine?
No, your motor doesn't have the RAVE system. Your problem sounds like it's in the carbs......
Do you still have grey fuel lines? If so, do a search on the tool bar from above, key word "grey fuel lines".
If not, then you'll need to take and clean them. But before you do, make sure the low speed screws are set at 1 and 1/4 turns open. Then give it a try. Still rough, open just a tad more on each carb. Still rough, remove the carbs and clean them out. Be careful and you can reuse the gaskets. If not, you'll need a carb rebuild kit...........about $25 bucks or so...:cheers:
