I had a similar situation until I replaced my faulty plug wires. Same
could happen if spark is bad due to cap or rotor problem. It's hard to
set the mixture with a poor spark because the adjustments don't seem to
make much difference. When you finally get it set correctly (lift the
piston test) it runs ok but fouls plugs like crazy. If you try to lean
it out it's too lean. Gotta have good spark before you can set the carbs.
