Thanks everyone for your help! Carbs are rebuilt and the bike is on the road! The idle races at times though. Is this an air/ fuel adjustment issue? Running to rich on fuel maybe? Also, my right turn indicator isn't functioning. The bulbs are good so I'm guessing a wire connection isn't making contact. Any any advice is appreciated. Thanks again!
 
Clean the turn signal contacts in the handlebar with a q tip and isopropyl alcohol. Relay could be shot as well if cleaning doesn't work. Watch any generic YouTube on it.

Could still be dirty carbs, air/fuel adjust, etc. Did you bench synch and then synch them on the bike? YouTube a video to make your own carb synch tool for cheap cheap cheap
 
Thanks! Just got it all taken care of. The fuel mixture screws were out 4 turns, I took them down to seat then back out 2 turns and it's running perfect now. Also, found two bad soldering spots in the turn signal housing. Re-soldered them and it's good to go! Thanks for being here!
