The bowls are on the front and rear side of the carb. You'll see a small square glass window on each (these are the sight glasses). Hard to miss. this is where you check the float bowl level. If they are dry you have a blockage somewhere. the fuel level should be about halfway up the glass. You're going to need a small mirror to check the rear one since it's so close to the firewall, you won't be able to see the level.

Played with the plug wires again: this should be right.

Front Igniter = Trailing
Rear Igniter = Leading
T2 = rear upper plug
L2 = rear lower plug
T1 = front Upper plug
L1 = front lower plug

checked the fuel bowls today, both are filled half way!

The car fires and runs on it's own now, but doesn't keep running unless you keep the throttle on at least half way.

2,000rpm or lower and it just dies out.
