to check for vacuum leaks i checked all the boots mentioned as well as around the fuel petcock.

i did notice a very slight leak around the left airbox boot, not because of cracking but because a slightly loose fit to the carb intake. however, it is my understanding that that leak should not greatly affect the performance of the carb because the carb intake is not under significant negative pressure and is a leak before the mixture of fuel and air... i could of course be mistaken.

could this be the source of the problem?
