I finally got the carbs done and installed. Everything inside looked good. Had them in carb cleaner. Rinsed them out real good. Blew everything out and sprayed everything in and about with carb cleaner. Cleaned and soaked the little manifolds in each carb also and replace the gaskets and the little O-ring. I changed 2 0-rings and the float needle on each carb. I removed the copper slide for the needles and cleaned them too. Saw one that I had installed incorrectly last time and fixed that. Cleaned and checked the slides/Diaphragms, all good. Had replaced them about 2 months back with the first time I took them apart. Got it installed back on the bike and 'Finally' got the bike to start. Runs / starts, 'NOW', okay with a bit of popping. This is all without the airbox installed. The reason I mention the air box is because I was told here that these bikes do weird stuff with the air box off. Now my question is, Will syncing the carbs straighten all that out (With the air box and filter back on of course)? Don't think they've ever been synced.
If synchronizing doesn't mellow it out, should I go back in the carbs and do something else? Any advice will be appreciated....
