If they are full of fuel, then it's likely a carb issue (as I described), or possibly a bad coil (if your coil is getting very hot to the touch, it could be bad).

that heat is leaning out the mixture or changing the throttle opening.<br>
Have you tried just raising the idle a couple of hundred revs (or<br>
