Ok read the carbs and fuel board over and can't seen to connect with anything for an answer.
I had the carbs off while replacing the throttle cables. I simply took them off, replaced the cables and then put it back on. Now it runs like total shiz.
It would seem that it is perhaps too lean? It will only run while the choke is about 3/4 on. Once it totally warmed up it will idle around 500 or less rpm's but has no power and will die if you try to give it more gas.
I made sure the carb boots and all vacuum lines were on and sealed tight. I have yet to try startng fluid to see if I have a vacuum leak.
Any Suggestions?

Sounds like dirt in the idle circuit.Once you take carba of & move them around you disturb any dirt that may have been in the bottom of the float bowls.You need to dissameble & clean the carbs.Pay pictular attention to the pilot jet.   |

What is the make of the needle jets with the adjustable rings. To raise instead of using washers. Bike is bogging in the middle range.

Where did you get them from? How come I can't access some boards?

Solved !!!!!
I was talking to a guy I know today and he said he had the same problem. It would only run with choke on...was lean... ect.
What happened was, he hooked up the vacuum lines wrong and it wasn't getting any vacuum at the petcock.
Sure enough here too.... the main hose to the smog junk was dislodged from the air box... major vacuum leak and no fuel.
I think this is a "sign"... I have to pull the tank again....perhaps it is time for that valve adjustment as well.
