After having gone through the carbs again last night I tested each individually. Both sides will kick over and run for a few seconds (have to put the bike on choke the get it to start), the right side still seems to run stronger than the left. Take choke off, bike revs up evens out for a second or so and dies. This is on ONE carburetor.
Huh? Why are you testing one carburetor on the bike? That doesn't make any sense..unless I'm not understanding what you're doing. If you're concerned about the cylinders being different then you need to do a compression test. You can do it while you have the carbs off.
There are only a few things this could be, so start with the ignition and rule that out. What I would do is once you know the ignition system is good, go through and do the 4 steps for periodic maintenance. Adjust the cam chain, check the tappets, set the timing and then sync the carbs. Once its running on both set the timing with the light. If its not fixed by then you have something else going on.
My air/fuel adjusting screws have tabs on them and can only be turned one revolution in either direction. Have no clue what to set them at, everything I find is telling me to put them at 1 1/2-2 turns out but I can’t turn them that far.
Waiting on parts and sync kit to come in. Work keeping me busy haven’t had time to mess with it much. Goin to work on cam chain, valves, and timing when I get the chance. Don’t know when that will be though.
The A/F Screw is Brass. its hard to tell from the angle but I'm 99% sure you just posted a photo of the screw the plug the vacuum ports for syncing the carbs. Which by the way should have a crush washer between them and the carb body.

Been so busy lately that things that should take two minutes are taking a week to get done. Will hopefully make time to get back on in tonight and figure this out.
