What is your idle set at after the engine is fully warmed? Do you know when the last time the carbs were cleaned?

Is this a sudden change in starting behavior? Testing is always better than assuming.

The only thing that has changed is that I found a leak comming from the bolt holes where the faring connects at the top of the tank. I fixed the leak. Before i had the leak the cycle ran pretty good and was just needing some minor adjustments |

Hmmm....
Maybe you got some water in the gas or something has a jet clogged. It has to be something simple or your need a carb cleaning.  Vac line off maybe? Hard to get a handle on with limited info.

1) The petcock is working with vacuum applied 2) That the flow is about 2 cc per second or 1/2 cup per minute 3) That the fuel is not contaminated with water (which will stay at the bottom of the container)
