Hey Guys , thanks for the help. I pulled the carbs to clean them again last night. I figured it couldn't hurt even though they look pretty good. I also removed the plugs and I definitely got some anti-seize on the plug ends when installing them. But I checked and I have pretty good big blue sparks.  I had the screws at 1.5 turns out and I did use the choke. I'm thinking it's maybe the idle circuits. This is my first rebuild at this level so I'm learning as I'm going. I've never had a bike with Points before but I have set the static timing based on the manual and on Honda Chopper as well.  

  I think the anti-seize that was on the plugs was not helping the situation but they were wet with fuel, Probably from the accel pump which is working great. I verified that all the bowls are getting gas because I opened the drain screws and the same amount came out of each. I'm going to clean those carbs out again and I'll keep you guys posted.  Going to be a bit of tinkering, I wish there were some guys around here used to working on older bikes like this that I could learn from. Anyway, hopefully I'll have this stuff all buttoned up and I'll try starting again by this weekend.

Thanks for any help, I appreciate it.
