So I am now TRYING to get the carbs sync. Once I let the bike idle/warm up and shut off the choke, the bike takes off/over rev's.
New battery-good charge
New coils-Both primary's and secondary's checked out on install. Going to chack again
Electronic Ignition!
Valve spacing has been set/redone.
Emog air pods (starting to hate.)
Before starting the bike;
Tried to take it for a test ride down the lane. The throttle is VERY slow to respond!
This is where the bike is, now taking off at high rev. I have read this can be a vacuum line issue.
I have a new HD Peanut tank (inside has been lined) and new petcock (fuel filter installed too). I also have a vented fuel cap. I have capped off the vacuum ports on the carb holders.
As always, Cheers!

Before starting the bike;
- I backed off the idle screw first.
- Then set the Air mix screws-tightened hand tight, then backed out 1-1/4.( PO had them at 3-4 turns out.)
- Then tightened in the Sync Screw (wrong name)- All the way in then out 3 turns to start.
