Yes i pulled the AI air line and put a condom from my SM onto the port. No change.

Just pulled the carbs and pulled each bowl and top also.... CLEAN as a whistle. I need a small open end wrench (who knows where mine went) to try to tighten the nut around where the choke plunger goes into the carb.....some fuel coming from this area indicates it could be a problem. I also have the new clamps coming tomorrow and will tighten those down good and put it all back together.

When at idle is seems fine....
Backfires (small-more than a decel pop) but no flame from backfire-that issue was resolved with the new boots.
With Choke pulled it hiccups....in other words the carbs kinda shake and make a pffffffft sound.

Tell you all more later.........An ideas or suggestions will gladly be taken
