Hi all - new to the forum usage, this is my first formal post. In short, bought this 7200 mile bike a couple yrs ago, when it was running pretty well. In 2 years, I haven't put but ~100 miles on it. Now, it’s not running right and I'm confused where to even start.
The only thing I have done (engine wise) is completely disassembled carbs and cleaned them, replaced gaskets…and discovered it’s wearing BS38s (vs 1980 34’s). I probably coulda/shoulda replaced the right diaphragm as it did drop faster than left side. Also changed plugs 20 miles ago and they already have carbon. Last thing, I’ve always thought it ran rich…lot of gas smell. Attached are two movies I made. The first is overall pics of the bike, the second documents how it's running right now.
Hoping all these online mentors can give me a starting place.
Thank you!
