Did you get your heated driveway on line Dan?

 I see the cold snap you folks are having and wondered. Burrrr

Do you have self cancelling turn signals?

Hey i didn't get a notification about the replies? I turned on the notification option.. strange..

I don not have or want LED's,

At my xj900f, 3 wires were coming form the indicator/turn switch, and made a hazard-light switch which is connected to each of them and it works!

The wiring diagram show 5 wires coming from this unit?

Seafoam is a good carb cleaner. It's magic stuff, but not instant magic. Add some to the gas tank before filling, according to label directions. Run the bike warm, then let it sit a day or so to get working. Repeat as needed. You should be able to ride as normal after that. Takes a coupla tanks to use up the Seafoam treatment, but I think you will like the end results.

But if the pilot jets are clogged, the seafoam won't get to them. I'd guess he's going to be pulling those carbs to clean them.

Probably not the same bike the seat they just posted is different than the one from your stolen bike

This just showed up on eBay, same color in NY. They are selling carbs and forks too.

Good tip, thanks Karl!

I got the passage cleared.  I gave up on trying to unclog it, and drilled it open with a 3/32 bit.  It punched thru some kind of obstruction and now flows fine.  I definitely opened it up a little more than the other three.  So I drilled all four chambers to balance them out.  I hope I didn't create a problem with my choke circuit.  I don't think it would, since all I'm doing is providing plenty of gas for the choke pickup pipe to circulate. 

This is such a common problem on every carb I work on, that I wonder if I shouldn't just make this part of every carb rebuild. Even when I get the passages cleared, barely any fluid trickles thru on every chamber. If the choke circuit works fine on these carbs, I think I'll start doing this from now on. I'll use the next smallest drill bit though, I just used the smallest one I had on hand.
