Can you slightly loosen the bolts that attach the boots to the bike? Many bikes have tight fits around there, and you might not be able to retighten them after you've muscled your carbs in. This might enable you to get your carbs and boots aligned a bit better. Are you certain your rubber boots are all in the right location? My bike has left and right boots, and it makes a big difference if they're not in the right spot. Just a shot in the dark, hope this helps a bit.

What year 750 do you have? What year bike are the boots from (or are they the original boots)? What year bike are the carbs from (or are they the original carbs?). I'm thinking you might be using different year parts, and the earlier 750 carb mounts are smaller than the later parts.
However, if all is original, and you are finding the rubber boots are not pliable enough (hard as a rock from age) to stretch around the carb mounts, heat up the rubber with a heat gun, then slip carbs in.

If your boots are so hard that you can't get the carbs into them you might consider buying new boots. In my experience once they get that hard it's only a short matter of time before they start to crack and leak, which leads to all the ill effects on how the bike runs. Just my $.02

Go for the heat gun. If you still have trouble, you might want to invest in a set of new manifolds. Dynoman has pretty good prices.
