Sounds like 85 slides wont work  even with emulsion tubes.Clean them set the floats and if theres no holes in the diaphrams  I think you should be good.I dont think its the springs or drilled slides.I am no expert but I can usually figure things out.Or sell the 84 carbs and get 85 carbs.Set your floats and clean them real good.

 I still have a few variables to work out.  The float height is too high for one, and I'm not sure that the slide springs are stock either.  At this point I'm just trying to get everything in the carbs in a "known" condition so I know what I'm working with.  This bike has a shady maintenance history, so some things might just be plain wrong.

With that attitude, you will undoubtedly get it nailed down solidly.
