Hey Guys,  I finally got the bike running as of this past weekend!!! I had the carbs apart and I removed all the jets, floats , etc and cleaned like crazy. When I put the floats in I noticed they looked a little off and the symptoms of my bike fell right in line with not getting the gas needed to keep idling. so I adjusted the floats and when I hooked up the carbs, VROOM VROOM, it ran. It idled and everything. I was extremely happy to get it running. I do have to do some work to get it tuned up correctly as far as the fuel screws / idle adjustment and stuff.  When I twist the throttle it jumps up to about 2700 - 3000rpm and hangs there for a few seconds, Does anyone know why this might happen??  here's my setup so far. I have the PD42 Keyhole carbs, 35 pilot, 110 main, needle with a tiny washer underneath (non-adjustable) and I have the fuel screws out 1.5 turns on each, stock airbox- brand new filter and stock 4-4 pipes. Also how high should the bike idle with the choke all the way out? Does the problem I'm experiencing have to do with the fast idle cam?  Thank you all for your help, I really appreciate it.
