Thanks man. I ended up finding a pair of carbs from an 81 xs400 and bought them.

Thanks for the tips. I don’t have any replacement parts yet or a vacuum balanced. Would it be better to wait or just strip it down and clean anyway?

I recently bought a 1981 xs400. Rode it 2hrs home but it died a few times on the way. I think it was running on one cylinder. I was able to get to 80mph but then I could only hear engine sounds on the left side and my speed dropped to 45-50 then like 35 and I couldn’t go any faster. It backfires...
