So previously i couldnt get the bike to idle at all, now for some crazy reason it will only idle reliably with the gas tank off which leads me to think the bowls are over filling. (my floats are set at 26mm but i wont rule out bad needles)
If i do let it idle with the tank connected the idle floats around 1500rpm but will dip to 1000 and rise to 2000. i have tried messing with the idle adjust screws and the throttle stop but i dont understand why my idle is so up and down.
also with the tank on if i try to apply throttle the bike dies but with the tank off i can redline.
any suggestions outside of new float needles (which i think i will order along with gaskets)
