'98 770L Carb Problems

[Winchester]

I recently picked up a '98 TS-770L. For the most part it starts and runs great when cold. However once the engine is warm starting it is a real chore. It's virtually impossible to start it when warm with out giving it at least half throttle. Even so it spins for a good 5-10sec before it sputters to life. Once it is running it's definately flooded, blue smoke and misfiring. I also have noticed that it will sputter and jack around if you punch the throttle from an idle position. It eventually smooths out once it gets going but the ride aint none to smooth. However if you ease into the throttle it runs great. Any help would be graciously appreciated............

sounds like a leaking needle and seat problem. Take the flame arrestor off and look down the carbs. if you see fuel dripping when it is at idle or after you shut it off then get carb rebuild kits and new needle and seats.

Does anyone know the exact model of carbs that are on this machine?
