Found one of the problems I was having. The float needle is sticking pretty bad on one of the carbs.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdQhqQgYqMs&list=UU2y97v3oafkkHERsVLl9Fig&index=1&feature=plcp
Also two of the pilot screws are stuck so I have them soaking in some MP-50 as well as two of the screws on piece that holds all the carbs together.
I did have two small springs and a small washer fall out of the carbs and im not sure where they came from. Im sure ill figure it out as im going along though.
Looks like one of the POs tried to re jet the carbs but only did some of the stuff.
Edit: well im gonna have to drill out the pilot screws and pilot jets so I packed everything up and gonna finish it tomorrow at the shop where I have my drill bits. Been fun working on them though

transfered everything over.
gonna pull all the turn signals off and remove all the wiring. Also gonna replace all the seals in the front forks. the left side fork is leaking pretty good.
You forgot the beer holder when you swapped everything else over on the bars:dancing: Looking good !

Two carbs are done but the other two still need the pilot screws extracted. The PO did not use brass ones so these are super super hard to drill into. So tomorrow hopefully I'll get them drilled.
So close!!!

Got one of the other idle air screws out and that carb completely rebuilt and jetted
But the other refused to come out so I bought a "new" carb on here and it should be here in a few days.
Also started striping the tank down. I have 3 ideas of what to do paint wise but haven't made up my mind yet.
And I changed the diff fluid. Nasty stuff in there

Careful now, next thing you know this will be down to a bare frame and a pile o parts, then powdercoat, polishing, and painting. Before you know it you'll have a new bike!

I dont think I want to do that much work on this thing haha.
from here its gonna get fork seals, brake flush, most likely new rotors, and go through the electrical system and strip out all the crap I dont want and then tidy it up. Essentially its gonna have the turn signals removed completely and the brake light moved. Find a speedometer, cut an inch of foam out of the seat (ive got short legs
) pull the pet cock apart and make sure things there are good, wrap the exhaust, finish the exhaust out to the back of the bike. . . . this list is depressing
