Ok, so before I let the bike sit for 2 weeks waiting on parts, it was having what I guessed was a vaccuum leak. Wouldn't keep a stable idle, bounced around a range of about 500 rpm's but I'm kind of a perfectionist and stuff like that bothers me. I couldn't exactly figure out where it was coming from, but when i sprayed starter fluid in the general area of the intake boots from the carbs to the engine it would start to rev up.
So I bought all new intake boots with new o-rings and new clamps for both the engine side and airbox side. I put all these on today and was still having pretty much the same problem. I did notice a small gas leak coming from the A/F screw on carb #4, probably due to the o-ring missing when I put my longboy screws in. Could this one o-ring be causing that much of a vaccuum leak?
Also what other areas should I inspect. After riding the bike, I came to a stop and the bike dropped down to like 1000 rpms and then died on me. It's starting to get very frustrating and I don't know where else to look for answers. Any help would be greatly appreciated guys and gals.
