Check out this thread: http://honda-cb750-s.456789.n3.nabble.com/DOHC-carb-cleaning-procedure-td867809.html

Lots of great DOHC carb cleaning info there.  I would highly recommend reading that thread and reading through the instructions on how to clean the carbs in the pdf's and word doc that are linked.

One of the pdf's says to break the bank and clean each carb separately, but I didn't do that and mine are running amazingly well.

Oh, and to check for a vacuum leak spray some wd-40 or starter fluid where you think you have the leak (e.g. the boots) while the engine is running.  If the revs go up, you have a leak.
