Got an 86 max last year hasn't hit 30000 miles yet. Been running great until I started having tank rust issues. Replaced tank and fuel filters. Shotgunned the carbs and synced. After the bike warms up the number 2 carb starts pulling and the bike bogs down. After a bit of idling the bike stalls out. Unfortunately running stage one with stock needles... a/f set at 2.5 out. Ain't gonna be warm to much longer up in Maine and need to get this son of a whore running again! Anyone got some advice?

There's a link to it idling.

Yep, sounds like a cleaning is in order. You probably have some rust in a float....etc.
 
Before pulling the carbs make sure the basics are right:-

- carbs synchronised
- idle set
- if the idle mixture plugs are removed check the settings or set at 2 1/2 turns out
- clean or replace air filter
- plugs are still within service limits
- thoroughly clean plug caps, HT leads and coil towers
- drain the float bowls into a container and look for any debris
- inspect the fuel filter for debris.

Once all the above check out OK then it would be appropriate to tear into the carbs.
