Bike Dies while crusing, then eventually runs again

As far as the carbs, I was referencing the inside. Actually, the outside is fairly dirty.

Well, it's apparent that the carbs weren't dipped then. If they were, they'd be clean inside and out.

If the intake manifolds are loose at all theres a vacumm leak..point #1.

If the orings in the intake manifolds are new there is no need for "sealer"..point 2.

Youve been told what to do so dont second guess whether the carbs are clean inside the small internal passages or not. Redo them regardless and be 100% sure.

Yeah, guess I will. Good thing Jan/Feb is right around the corner.

I borrowed a carb sync tool from my friend and the #2 carb showed a low vacuum, adjusting the screw resulted in no change. So...yeah something isn't right inside there. However, after syncing the rest of them the bike seems much happier, however the issue with the hanging idle or bogging idle persists. Just no more bucking and backfiring.

Just remember that the number 3 carb is the master so sync all others to it.

And as you sync the reading on 3 will change.
