UPDATE!!!
So exciting I know. I was able to get what seems like two cylinders firing. Wasn't able to get bike to operating temperature. No longer dies when throttle is released, but does die when the bike is completely stocked. It doesn't feel or sound right, which is why I believe I only have two (or potentially three) cylinders firing. Responsive on the rpm side of things when not moving but slows way down when I have the bike in gear and am riding it.
I believe my next step will be to set up a remote gas tank so I can get straight lines to the cars, and I have a vacuum gauge to test the carbs with. I am not sure if the problem lies in the petcock or with the carbs, which is why I want to set-up with remote tank. As always, I am still very new to working on bikes, so if anything I've said makes you think it's a really obvious problem and are dismissing it because you believe I couldn't possibly be that dumb, please say something anyway because there is a relatively large chance that I had no idea it was a problem lol.
During my ride I was only on for maybe four minutes max, did not get to operating temperature. I do not believe it to be the spark plugs however I do not have any solid evidence pointing to that. I am now sure that there are no kinks in the fuel line, and I have taken out the fuel filters to have it go straight from the petcock to the fuel intake on the carbs. I will be taking pictures of the bike soon to see if visually there is anything I've done terribly stupid (i'd rather be heavily embarrassed and alive then believe my self to be right and dead)
As always, thank you to everyone who has said something so far, it is directly attributed to you that my bike has even gotten this far
