It's been a while but life has a way of shifting priorities. I replaced the seals and found no vacuum leaks. I noticed I had some leaking from my head gasket and I also replaced that. One thing I noticed is the spark looks a little weak. (new plugs) Bike starts and runs but as soon as its under load it runs like ****. It pops, it misses, it backfires, It seems ok until I get to about 30+ mph when I shift to third it all goes to hell.

After a few weeks of tinkering I gave up on the carb and bought a new one. I think the O-ring for the idle screw disintegrated and clogged something because it was no where to be found when I took the screw out. The new carb had much bigger jets (45/190) so the bike finally ran but it was still way too rich. I put 42/170 jets in it and now it will run but it's popping and hesitating and seems like it's missing. I checked the plugs and they went from being black and sooty to whitish which I know indicates a lean condition. So I have to be dealing with a vacuum leak that I can't seem to find or something else that I can't find.
