...and want to help me get my 931 running right? It starts and runs fine, but any amount of throttle makes it bog down and nearly shut down.

(for full details to this point, go here: http://924board.org/viewtopic.php?t=22206&sid=350b31fcc4c5fcf3048822c4b1a1de55)

Let me know what you'd want in return and we'll see if we can work something out. I'm hoping for this upcoming weekend if possible (July 14)

I know I'm probably reaching out there on this one, but hey, it's worth a shot.

+1 to Vinnie, & is your air metering plate moving when you open the throttle?

Check everything from the air filter to the head for vacuum leaks.

What is the best way to do this?

I believe so. My memory is a little fuzzy since I haven't checked in a while.
