Thanks for sticking with me on this 5twins, I will try to get my idle sync adjusted better and go from there.
I should point out that with the uni's and straight pipes, I have re-jetted to 1 up on the pilots and 2 on the mains. I'm at 45 and 135 with the needle on no.3 clip position.
Could be that your carbs are simply too open to be drawing fuel from the idle port, possibly drawing from the transfer ports instead. Can you back off the idle stop screw(s) to fully closed, then open with only a quarter turn, and get it to run?
