If the O-rings are worn out, the idle will tend to hover much higher than normal. The rpms won't drop down between shifts. Very annoying.

Running lean is more a function of float level, jet size, mixture screw, and installing pods and open exhaust without increasing jet size.
 
Thanx well my next question is what is causing my lean condition on my left cylinder pilots are at 30 main at 137.5 open exhaust with baffles uni pods pamco carb adjuster screws 2 turns out thanx again

My carb knowledge is not great..............perhaps 5twins will see this thread and comment.

Maybe post a pic of your spark plugs.
