Yes and no? Haha. Your slide needle is going to do a lot of metering of the fuel at that point. Also, note the slide cutaway make sure yours is adjusted right, someone chime in but if I remember right, adjust the throttle stop so the rear of the cutaway on the slide should just be sticking into the carb body. But that might just be with mechanical and not CV type carbs.

Need to go over a few things to night like make sure timing is 100% and that the carbs are in sync with each other . Bike is doing good from idle to about 1/2 throttle but falls on its face at 5 , 5 1/2 grand :-[ So if im reading this right it the main jet is dumping all kinds of fuel and fouling the plugs ....
