Are you sure the rear carb fuel circuit is not blocked off on purpose?? Could have been running pig rich so someone disconnected the linkage or blocked the fuel circuit on purpose. Better find someone that knows dual carb set ups that can properly tune a dual carb set up. Good luck!

Check to ensure that the rear float's needle and seat isn't stuck closed. Then, find someone that knows dual carb set ups that can properly tune a dual carb set up. Good luck!
