You say it runs poorly, what exactly is running poor? Have you synched the carbs? What are the valve intervals?

Good job getting it running. Feels good, dont it?
It's been running for a while now, finally got to updating the first post. Both screws are at 2.5 turns out from fully seated. (the heads don't match when they are fully seated) I still have to put the carbs back on the bike now. California is not as sunny as tv would lead you to believe. I bench synched the carbs lasttime they were off with feeler gauges. A buddy has a manometer I can use but it's close enough for now. Valves haven't been done yet but I'm getting there. Bike ran fine before "the long sleep" so they definitely shouldn't be keeping the bike from running at least 95% normal. The idle is funny. If I rev it, sometimes it will rev normal. Other times it will hang at whatever I rev it to for a minute then drop like a rock. I'll check for vacuum leaks when the carbs are back on.
