I had to put a hold on engine running due to rain (and maybe a golf game or so).  

 Now back to breaking in the engine (582 grey head, 3.1 C gearbox, GSC 3 blade).

 Resumed running every thing going well until the 5th section of a 5 min run at 5000rpm - 

 then poof the rear cyl quit.

 Egt was showing 1180 on front and 1110 on rear - then rear dropped very quickly.  

 After a lot of testing the problem turned out to be a plugged jet in the carb. 

 I use a Mr. Funnel but have no in line filter.  

 Still running rough at idle and smooth at 3000+ but carbs still bouncing greatly.

 Replaced Carb socket boots with after market ones (thicker and harder rubber compound)

 then engine ran with less roughness at idle and carbs were steady.
