Didn't by any chance check the compliance fitting holding that carb did you ? Those are known to crack ans suck air occasionally.

Ok, so it's a kick only bike. Failed to mention that when you you first posted... Your not gonna post hi numbers just kicking it.. Did you have the slide in the carb wide open when testing?
Your not gonna see deposits on the plugs like we used to with today's fuels... When listening to the video sounds to me like it's running pretty good, you just need to find a competent tuner. Is this your first Shovel?

Yes, running a Mikuni 38MM w/330 Main jet
I can't afford a tunner and it not a race bike, it's trial and error at this point to try to dial it in.
On the spark plugs, they are more gray with some black around the end of the threads. Is that trulley lean?
I'll go around again and reef on the fasteners around the carb some more, but shouldn't it suck in carb cleaner spray if it's leaking? It just pulls up and drips.
Also it does have electric start (alls *****)but it kills the battery and the aftermarket solenoid stick sometimes, so that's why I kick it most of the time. But the compression test was first done with the elec. starter then finished with the kicker after the battery died.
I have owned the bike since new, but it has been off and on the road over the years.
