Quick update. Pulled the carbs today and checked all the jets. Seems I missed the idle jet in my #2 carb. Cleaned that, then assembled the bike again (all in under1.5 hours). She stared on the first turn, all four running smooth.
I wish that was the end. I had removed the drain hoses from the carbs to make them easier to replace. I did not replace them before I started her up. She started puking gas out her #2 and #4 carb drain, even when I tightened up the drain valve.
So my question is this. Could this be caused by the SOS? Lack of hoses on the drain nipples? Or is it obviously my float needle? The reason I ask is because they worked just fine before I removed the carbs today, and now 2 of them are overflowing.
As a side note,I will be fabricating my turn signal mounts out of some aluminum bar stock I bought. Being as this is my first time doing it,I will take a few pics along the way and share with you all.
