Red herrings are best pickled.... Though I think the Norse do some nasty things to those fish....

Well I know for sure that the pilot circuit on #1 is definitely clogged, so I'm thinking that's probably a good place to start. If it's still acting up after I figure out how to solve the problem I know I have, I'll go ahead and investigate the ones I dont.

Can't is a four letter dirty word
you can also get an extra light e string .009...I have found that when I reach this level of frustration on our bike I just pick up my banjo and play a little deliverance and try and not break my g string...Sonreir said:
nothing worse than getting my panties in a wad and then breaking my g string 
NAh. Smoked. Smoked herrings aka Kippers are the way to go. Have a kipper snack while carbs are soaking.mydlyfkryzis said:
And until the carbs are really clean, the rest is a moot point. Carry on with cleaning those small holes and blow them clean first.
With slide carbs, bench synch amounts to making sure all the slides rise exactly together. On CV carbs, a bench synch is getting all the butterflies to move together and at idle they should all show the same amount of the small bypass holes.

These carbs dont have diaphragms, they are all metal slides, which is really nice.
I would have loved to use an ultrasonic cleaner, but in addition to the problem of not having one, the clogged pilot jet is pressed into the carb body and I dont see any way to remove it without damage and I dont think the whole carb would go in the cleaner very well. I would have also loved to use the E string trick, but the port that's clogged runs horizontally between 2 vertical holes. I tried getting a wire to poke in there, but didn't have any success. Regardless I pulled it out of the dip today at lunch time ( after soaking all night and morning) and finally I'm getting some spray through the pilot screw port so it looks like it's actually working. I went ahead and dropped it back in and will get back to cleaning and reassembly tomorrow. Hopefully that'll be the end of this particular issue.

Bench sync is covered on page 36, but reading the Final Assembly and the Alignment sections preceding are very important on these DOHC's. I strongly recomend reading the WHOLE THING even though the begining may seem redundant to you now, it'll help you wrap your head around the process.
... and I like Blind Robins better than Kippers

Did you find the answers you needed in Sean G's rebuild manual I posted?

Yeah, I did. I had actually just downloaded that a little while before you posted it. Still wondering what this 2 finger method is I've seen mentioned, but whatever.
The bike is all back together now and runs like a champ! Still need to do some minor fine tuning and recheck the sync with the vacuum gauges, but it runs better than it ever has.
