Hey guys, I recently picked up my 72 cb350 after it sat since 1978. It has 3200 miles on it. I changed the oil on it and rebuilt the carbs. I put everything back on and she fired right up and revved up great but did not idle. If i held the throttle it would run but as soon as i let it go it would shut off. I thought if I adjusted the throttle stop screws on the side of the carb it would idle, and it did but at 3000 rpm. Then i started messing with those screws and before you know it something was wrong. The bike would idle but would bog and pop when i tried to rev it up. Now the R/H cylinder is cold and the carb does nothing if i try to open the throttle plate manually. Its getting good spark and i wouldnt see why its not getting fuel all of a sudden. Any help/tips would be great
 
pull the carbs and clean them again. I had issues with idle all last summer, despite cleaning my carbs on at least 4 occasions. the last time i cleaned them, i was blowing compressed air though the idle circuit (something i had done every time) and a tiny splinter of metal came out and after that it idled properly!
 
I had ther same problem on my right side carb put your hand over the inlet side of the carb it helps get the fuel through and it should fire, or maybe you might have an airleak
