Been Around the Block
Alright, So picture and video dump! I have been crazy busy with work so bike had to go on back burner for a few days....However after sitting for a few days I took the tank off to look at valves and wires and such, pulled choke cable and hit the starter (with the ever so slightest blow on the fuel line to push out the gas as the tank wasn't on so no pressure from that) and she fired right up....I haven't taken her for a ride because I don't want to get stuck again, and I haven't had the time. So lets go over what I found when I took the tank off.
So first, here is a video I took with no spark plugs, everything sounds good.

Now lets get to pictures.
1. Battery charge wasn't the issue, and this was after trying to start it many times day of.
2. spark plugs 1-2, look good (maybe a little lean? might richin up a little)
3. Spark plugs 3-4, same as 1-2
4. Well breather hose looked pretty oily after the bike sat for a few days in the upper triple digit degrees garage. So maybe I did over fill, and that caused the smoke and loss of power? (can that happen? oil getting into the cylinders causing loss of power in the upper rpm and stalling in the lower? [wouldn't this show on the spark plugs?])
5. Well the silicon didn't hold......Anyone got any great ideas? I would love one of those filter boxes that go over two carbs but I don't have $300, let alone $50 for K&N / velosity stacks......
6.-11. Misc leaks with new gaskets and O-Rings, This really makes me think there was too much oil by all the leaks with all news seals.
So what do you guys think? Tank is still off so I can do whatever test you guys need.
