Okay, so after months of boards studying and not being able to work on my motorcycle I'm finally done and was able to dive back in. I replaced the insulator boots with brand new ones and changed the air filter as well hoping that this would help with vacuum leaks that I definitely had. It...

Thank you so much for all the feedback everyone. In medical school and boards are coming up so motorcycle work has slowed down a lot for me. As for the carbs all four were separated so I had four individual carb bodies, I removed the main jets and imulsifier rubes from each, the pump from my 2nd...
