Generally Ok.
Well, shoot.
So I had the carbs off and double-checked everything and it all looked good. Checked everything for leaks, etc.
(throttle shafts were tight with new seals I knew I had installed!)
Double checked timing, sync, valves, exhaust, etc. and didn't find any issues.
In spite of my initial diagnosis I don't think my problem was an air leak after all.
I adjusted the air screws out a bit more and that helped but I'm still getting an occasional crack and pop when I rev it and let it drop, seems to be a little worse on the left side.
When I rebuilt the carbs they were soda blasted and I made damn sure every orifice and jet was clear.
New coil, caps, correct plugs, etc.
Plugs looks ok, maybe a tad rich but I haven't done a real chop with fresh plugs.
The bike will idle smooth down to ~800 or so and it seems to run well and pulls hard with the occasional pop coming off throttle.
I dunno, I'm starting to think I may be over thinking this!
Tomorrow I'll take it back out and see what happens.
Thanks, I have the back rest for it too.
