    Very sad story about your sister. May she rest in peace.

    Since your bike is stock that makes your task easier. Did you verify all the jets in the carbs are the exact same number/size as the factory originals? Many times people buy crappy aftermarket carb kits which come with inferior jets which mess up the carbs thereafter.

    To recap: set fuel screws at 7/8 turn and air screw at 1.5

    Vacuum sync the carbs

    Double check your points to make sure they are gaped and timed properly.

    Good luck

        Dude, please don't make me pull out the manual when you can do it for yourself. Also, at the top of this forum there is a thread with all the OEM carb jetting specs. Please look it up.
