Nice! Looking forward to a ride report.

Just out of curiosity, how did you preserve the fuel system components (carbs and tank) during your build? Completely drain carbs and completely fill tank? If not, today's crappy gas can create deposits in a week or so and an empty tank can start flash rusting which can introduce rust particles.M.B Co said:Put several miles on her last night and did a few pulls down the road. Still running pig rich though. Going to confirm float level and adjust if needed, so hopefully that will resolve that.
Odd that they would be off being that I had everything adjusted and it ran properly before the build with the current jet setup.

Now I am moving on from the carbs. I'm certain my issue is not carb related. I had them tuned before the build and it ran pretty much perfect for me with plenty of power and just a stitch rich but not bad.
Now, it acts like there is ZERO power, bogs down on any amount of throttle and drops the right cylinder. Fuel level is correct, nothing blocking the jets, diaphragms good etc...time to move on.
What I have checked
-Coils have plenty of power and do not drop voltage
What I need to
-Compression
-Timing
-Valve clearances
-Sync carbs again

Another thing worth looking at is the spark plugs, caps and wires.
