If starting fluid does nothing, I would be looking at ignition. Rebuilding the carbs I would hold off till you get it to run.

Its all pretty stock although I have replaced the fuel pump.  Tomorrow my mechanic is going to rebuild the carb.

After it dies what do you do to get it restarted?
Does it still have the stock carb?  Stock fuel pump?  Ignition system?

After a short hiatus, I am back trying to figure this thing out.

Starts when cold, no problem.  runs at 2500 to 3000 rpm no problem.

Let it go down to 1000 or so and it dies.  Will not restart.

Fuel is flowing.
Spark on all 4 cylinders according to my spark testing tool
Starter fluid accomplishes nothing
No signs of flooding – no gas smell, plugs are neither oily nor gassy, no gas pouring into carb

This has the water choke.  Could that be the problem?
