Last question is the slide in the left carb bouncing more than the right carb?
I’m not sure about any bouncing, but when the vents are covered, the slide drops nice and slow as it should.

... the left cylinder is still running crappy. It absolutely will not idle.
...if I hold the throttle open more on the left carb, it will more or less run steady.
Would this be an indicator that my idle circuit is not operating properly on my left carb? Perhaps a blockage?
...the left plug was wet with gas,
...The left cylinder can be made to run, just not very well.
...I was running mostly with the petcocks shut off, I would fill the bowls up, start it up and mess with it until the bowls start to run down, then just before it really starves, the running seems to get better and the engine speeds up, I would open the petcocks and the engine slows right down and back to running crappy.
Great video ! and Great news too !
Now you're having fun. Lets see that speedometer move too soon
can you check vacuum. And are both throttles lifting at the same time.
5Twins method is great. If I understand dual output coils correctly the path is out one tower through the plug wire, through the cap, across the the plug gap, through the head, across the other plug gap, through the cap and wire back to the coil. If it can fire one cylinder it should fire the other. Mysteries of electricity.So then I swapped the plug leads around, and whadya know, left cylinder started hitting. So I pulled the plug wires off and re fitted all the connections. Before , I had simply cut the wires off square and screwed the caps on, this time I tried 5Twins method of splaying the inter wire over the ends, before screwing the connections on.
Great that you are having progress.

You will. I do hope you have fresh gas in that tank.if I can just get these carbs dialed in, it’s ready to ride!
