That would be my thought as well. Lots of questions though.
Does it idle at all? If so, how many revs is it doing at idle?
Also, are you sure it isn't set a bit lean? Have you done a plug check?

Here's another thought - when the carbs were rebuilt - did anyone replace the o-rings in the intake manifold boots? If not, they need it I guarantee. I did mine last year and the difference it made was amazing in how it idled and ran.

Hi Mr. sparkmaster123,
Who rebuilt your carbs for you?
Thank you for your indulgence,

When you "had the carbs cleaned and rebuilt" did you see how they were done?
Did you get a report on what all was done? Or were they just "cleaned and rebuilt"?
I ask because there are many different versions of "rebuilding the carbs". Some guys (maybe even some shops) will open up the float bowls, wipe out any solid crud, then spray some cleaner around to make it look nice. If it has been a while since the carbs ran on a regular basis, they need to be completely disassembled, dipped and put back together with all new o-rings. Most shops don't want to take the time to do this, because it will take about 6-8 hours of shop time, for which they will have to charge you about $400 or more, plus parts. Even more if they have to take the carbs off the bike and put them back on. Even more if they have to sync the carbs for you. If you get a can of carb dip and a set of o-rings, your cost will be less than $50. Add $90 for a Morgan Carbtune to sync the carbs and you can see why it's best to do the job yourself. Yeah, the Carbtune is not cheap. It costs about what a shop might charge you to sync the carbs, but the advantage is that next time, you will still have the gauge, so it will be a FREE adjustment. :dancing:
It is also possible that you might just need a carb sync or an idle mixture adjustment. Try those first before you spend a lot of money elsewhere.

Hey Sparkmaster, PM me if you need intake o-rings. If you don't know that means you do! I'm going to give out one more free set so if you want them let me know.
