My Honda runs great at idle but as soon as you give it throttle, it dies. Carbs have a full rebuild, points are set, valves are set, new plugs, new coils, and a bunch of other new stuff. Needless to stay it is pretty much completely rebuilt and I have no idea how to get it to run with throttle. Any ideas help, Thanks.

How bout timing? Check your cam chain and adjust before setting timing. Do you have a strobe timing light? Very handy.

At the risk of insulting your intelligence, you are aware that the choke is fully off when the handle is straight up/down vertical, and on when the handle is horizontal? People have made that mistake in the past. There is a clockwise arrow stamped into the handle showing the OFF direction.

Richen up the idle mixture adjustment a bit and see if that changes anything.
