When was the last time you cleaned the carburetors? That should be done every preseason, also check the carb boots for cracks. Take apart the airbox as well over the summer mice are known to build nests in there. Every year I end up finding stuff in there to clean out.

Also why do you say it isn't pulling "air" through the intake? What makes you think that just out of curiosity.
