I was planning on draining and cleaning the tank, changing the fuel filter when I pull everything off for the carbs. If it turns out to be a vacuum leak would it be better to just replace all of the lines?
If you're gonna remove the carbs, no sense in running more sea foam through it...

No need to replace the lines, fuel filter or any parts if you can clean them. If ANY lines however are cracked, brittle or hard it would be best to replace them...

It sounds to me like this might be a compound issue. Gummed up carbs can also cause your symptoms, so it would be best to start taking things apart and investigating further...

If you require any assistance, I'm in Golden... I'll be gone the first 2 weeks in June, but after that I'd be happy to assist where needed. Post up some pics as you take things apart and we can help you further on here.
