1967 xs650c with BS38s. I did a thorough rebuild and clean of the carbs before it went to bed this winter and I know the float heights are correct. Bike starts fine but idles rough on the left side. On idle, the left side pops and sputters and the headers are significantly less hot. Runs better with the air filter off but I noticed that the carb is spraying a mist of fuel out of the right hole near the air filter (marked in the attached picture). The jetting seemed great when it got parked last winter and I did replace the valve stem seals over winter too. Im pretty confident I didnt screw up the valve spacing but I may go check. The right side is well behaved, which makes me think theres gunk or something in the left carb.
Any clear ideas here? Clean the carbs again via the carb guide? Any particular spots to check?
