The STUPID store is out of the product I need to check for boot leaks.
Edit: Never mind. It's missing below 2500 on one side.

Solved. First time in 14 months (and 9800 miles) it's idled. Carb cleaned again, freed a sticky piston in the idle enricher, checked for boot leaks with propane (none), did the valves (2 exhaust were way too tight) and wuddya know. It idles. Like a normal motorcycle. 3 turns out on the A/F screws, haven't tweaked, may not, it comes off throttle fine.
I did all of the above after I got the bike, but I remember not taking the idle enricher apart last year, as at that point I didn't recognize it as a thing. So, uh, yah, make sure that piston isn't all varnished with gas too.
