Diaphragms seem to me to rise and fall easy enough, I did put a washer on the needles as referenced in the faq. Stronger hose clamps for the intake? New airbox? I am somewhat at a loss.
That won't give you a vacuum leak, just suck in unfiltered air.

Adjust the Idle Mixture screws to the optimum setting - https://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/How_do...dle_mixture%3F

Check for vacuum leaks at the clamps between the carbs and engine with carb cleaner or similar spray. Listen for a change in RPMs.

The diaphragms need to be looked at carefully for holes or tears. The slides should rise and fall smoothly and evenly.
