Here's an update:
I removed carbs and found a tear in the rubber that connects the left carb to the head. This must be the problem, massive vaccumn leak right? Got a new set of rubber connectors from Doug (Blackdog) blew out the pilot jet with air and put everything back together. start her up and I still have the same problem. left side not firing until it gets revved up. anyone have any ideas what the problem might me?


if life gives you lemons keep them because hey,free lemons.
