So I cleaned the carbs.
I had one very bad float needle. Unfoutunatly the kit I bought had
different needles. I managed to get it to work (i think) I know the needle was sealing and the float height was good. The rest of the needles looked good so I just cleaned and reassembled. I put the carbs on the bike today and after some choke (and a battery recharge it was really cold this morning) It fired right up. It won't run too good without choke or a little throttle. I can tell from the exhaust it is running rich and after starting it without the air box I can see lots of vapor coming out of carb 1 (left most) and carb 3 (right middle) after shut down. Carb 1 has the different float needle. Carb 2's idle jet screw took only 1 1/8 turn to seat, all the rest were 2 turns so I set all the carbs to 2 turns. When I rev the engine I can see the slides stutter up (only firing on 2 or 3 cylinders?) the engine is very rough but no back fire or after fire.
So do I need to start over do I still have float issues, another clog somewhere.
Thanks
