Just got back from initial test run around the block, I'm taking it on a shopping trip to find O rings for A/F prior to another take apart. Thank You all who gives your time or experience.

Float set, 28.5mm suggested so what would 30 mm act like?

365 views! half of ya must have said I will remember what that cheap sob used, or would you not use such stuff.
If it fits and doesn't deteriorate then no reason not to use it, I suppose.
Problems like you complain about at idle are often due to not clean carburetor passages, and require an ultrasonic soak or sometimes two.
You say "at idle, 3 dead cylinders," I'm surprised that it even continues to run at that. I'd believe that the drag of three 'dead' cylinders not firing, would just kill the engine.

Use the factory service manual and give the carbs a disassembly and ultra-sonic bath, and then scrupulously rebuild the carburetors according to the manual. I know that sometimes I've had to throw the carbs back in the ultrasonic tank if they don't function properly. Rare, but it can happen.
I will use K&N carb parts but I would NOT use the 'all four carburetors in ONE giant package!' generic carb kits from Amazon or ebay. Order Yamaha parts from a dealership, or the K&N parts, All Balls has OK Yamaha replacement parts too.

Thanks for that info the thing is it idled great prior to the disassemble wire out and blow out but would act up above idle. Now after idle is supper.. I will keep an eye open for a ultra sonic. I'm jazzed about the plumbing sleeve instead of the steep boots on the v boost manifold works great. Thanks for your guidence here.

Them orings are 1mm x 3mm I always keep them around the shop.
Yep 10 of them in $4.99 kit, are oem made of viton for the price?
Yes they are Viton . I can send some much cheaper if the ones you bought don't work out.
I don't measure the 15mm - 17mm....I use a pre-set gauge. Yamaha has a wet level gauge which is easy to make & usable with the carbs on the bike. Wet level check is the final word on your fuel levels.
