Pulled everything again and cleaned the crap out of that carb circuit.
I found the culprit. IT WAS THE DOG.
One little white hair in the circuit. That was all it took to clog it up.
Had one hell of a time putting the stupid airbox back on, the boots were not cooperating.
Figured out a good technique. I split the airbox and mounted each airbox boot separately. Once I had a good fit I torqued them down with a hose clamp and then reassembled the airbox with the boots already attached to the carbs. There's enough flex in the boots to wedge the air filter screen without popping the boots off. Then you just carefully squeeze the whole assembly back into the bike and bam, perfectly mounted boots every time.
The bike runs like a champ. A squirt of starter fluid sped up the vacuum petcock refilling the bowls and it idled happily at 1600rpm without choke.
