@TwoManyXS1Bs ohhhh i see what you meant now! I think I was thinking of the choke plunger assembly. thanks @5twins. I put that back on and the throttle shaft seals have been replaced. Carbs back on the bike and it runs, doesn't seem like there is an air leak anymore at first glance but I still...

Here it is next to the throttle shaft

For sure, inside is 8mm outside is 12mm

Hmm, it's not the bowl drain bolt washer those are sort of reddish in color on mine and I'm pretty certain I put those back on, I took the choke pieces off the body but I didn't completely disassemble the bolt and choke plunger... is it not a part of the throttle shaft assembly??

So I was changing my throttle shaft seals and it looks like I have a leftover part... a really thin washer. I'm guessing maybe it goes on the throttle shaft next to the seal, anyone know?

Cool thanks @MaxPete, I read some throttle shaft seal threads on here last night and I think I have a handle on it. I hope this works!

@MaxPete @5twins It seems as though the throttle shaft seals may have been the culprit all along. I had ordered 2 seals from boats.net awhile ago but I had figured it was the carb holders and was afraid of stripping the butterfly screws so they still haven't been replaced (I also now realize I...

@5twins by looking at those posts I think you might be right, I may have missed cleaning parts of the idle circuit. I'll get the carbs off and report back. Thanks

@5twins thanks again. Your replies all over this site have been super helpful to me as a major newbie. I re-read the car guide again and I think I'm slowly starting to understand jetting some, although I think I just need to wait for the additional jets I ordered to come in so I can start...

Update. Went for an awesome ride yesterday! I greased the advance rod and I clipped the springs on my advance unit and that seems to have fixed the issue of the idle hanging, although I guess the carbs could have just been way out of sync. I did have to turn the sync screw out around 2.5 turns...

Good call I definitely dont want to pay more than the driver in shipping, I ordered JIS screwdrivers and throttle shaft seals that have yet to come. I got the gaskets on, my 137.5 main jets came so I put those in (pilots are still stock) and I got allen heads for the manifold clamps and...

Nice, yeah maybe I'll go the ebay route. I don't think I want to spend 70 bucks on it. Would this one work with these bits? http://www.ebay.com/itm/VESSEL-IMPACT-DRIVER-No-2500-/263165281325?hash=item3d45df842d:g:s6IAAOSw5fFZldA9

@MaxPete Man I never would've thought of that, thanks. Just ordered a set of JIS screwdrivers from amazon. Is this the impact driver? https://www.amazon.com/Vessel-146033-2400-Impacta-Driver/dp/B001D32SBC/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1504096962&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=vessel+impact+driver

@MaxPete hahah, yeah okay i see that. Maybe I'll order some and replace just to make sure that's not an issue now or in the future. I remember when I did my rebuild I attempted to take that out but the little screws on the butterfly valve started to strip a bit so I left it alone, hopefully I...

@MaxPete okay cool I'll try that out if the gaskets don't work, thanks again
