I have to disagree with the last part. If the bike fires with that spray in the aorbox, then you've proven that fluid can go through the carb body into the combustion chamber. That doesn't mean fuel from the bowl can freely move up the jets and out the carb into the combustion chamber.

Never use starting fluid. Bad idea
I wouldn't do it just because of the paint, carb cleaner either. I watched my paint washing away on an engine a long, long time ago. It was a horrifying sight.

Paint out of a rattle can maybe.
On the other hand, it’s great cleaning grease and gum.
Dries instantly, cuts most anything, leaving little or no film.
And helps starting a motor sometimes too.
No rattle can. This was an RD350 engine, no rattle can. It was PERFECT paint.

You mixed the hardener with paint before you shot the motor?
One of the worst things out there. People that don't know what they are doing use it. I cringe when I see or here people suggesting to others to use it. Stupid idea, it really is.
Duh, it was factory paint.
He shoots it into his plastic air box. Plastic, rubber intakes, Orings anything rubber or plastic..................

I don’t agree.
It’s a tool.
Like any other.
You can cut your finger off slicing up Thanksgiving dinner if you don’t use a knife with care.
Now, spraying a set of carbs while cranking the engine until the fluid runs down the cases long enough to drain the battery,
that’s cringeworthy.

You bought the bike brand new back in 1974?

Sure do.
And believe it or not, i sometimes use gasoline instead of kerosene in a cleaning tray.
Without gloves!
You are obviously not a mechanic

I’m back!
Found some clamps that are pretty close to the oem band clamps, couldn’t find the oem band clamps for less than $200 posted which is outrageous.
The airbox was a fucking punish to get in and connected, I had a to rearrange all my wiring to fit it in
The bike starts and runs, but it only idles, and that’s with full throttle, I took the carbs off and the boots were drenched in fuel, so I’m not sure where to go from here.
I even checked to see if I’d accidentally put the main and secondary jets around the wrong way.
While you have carbs out, follow these instructions and you will be golden on carburetor side.

I already full disassembled the carbs and ran through the ultrasonic, all new jets and seals.
