Take my word, for it "YOU HAVE A PILOT JET PROBLEM". If I had a nickle, for every time I heard "I just had them rebuilt, or synced" I could go on a 3 day binge. I just got done doing a tune up, and carb sync on a buddies CB 550 that had just been to a well known shop, for a tuneup, and carb sync. It ran OK, but I knew it was not right. When I finished my buddy said "I had no idea it was running that bad". Well anyway when the bikes is warm it does not need as much fuel to start, so it is not going to need the extra fuel that it can get from the pilot, especially when the choke is on. The fuel pump has more to do with acceleration then starting. Also the pump it's self hardly ever goes bad. What happens is the nozzles get clogged, or the check valves get stuck. If, you can wait until maybe Wed I'll take a set apart, and get some pictures up, for, you.
