only one way to find out ... put them back on and see how it runs
.... remember the manual calls for i think 1-1/4 turns out with the air screw
but I found 2 turns out with the air screw is MINIMUM otherwise it would not idle.
GOOD LUCK but don't put it all back to gether just YET ! test run it first
it may well surprise you with some other hiccup !
after my first attempt of cleaning the old dry gas from the carbs I knew I found all the errors... so I re assembled the entire bike fairings and all only to find the thing would not idle, anything below 2000 rpm and it died !
so it ALL had to come apart again... so don't do what I did ! LOL
... so I did the carb cleaning again.... and again paying extra attention to the idle circuits making sure to get them clean ! PHITTTT ! i discovered their not clean YET !!!!! (it's real hard to clean around a 90 degree bend! )
....
these are the hardest carbs to clean I have ever messed with in my 68 years of life.... and yet their still dirty ! the answer is Ducattiman !
