Carb or Valve Problem...PLEASE HELP?

[Blurrman]

Checked the slides and they are going up and down fine. Thinking about maybe swapping back to stock needles but i just get the feeling that something big is missing now.  No vacuum leak, i dont think, i checked for it.  Gonna re-sync the carbs but if the carbs were off wouldnt the motor just run like crap but not just bog out?  Tonight i am gonna fill a plastic tube and tape it to the bike and have it full of gas to see if its tank or petcock related and could it be a timing issue???....just an idea...

1. Cant ride through flat spot...bike just wants to stall
2. It will idle and rev quite responsively
3. yes it will rev up past 6,000 when not in motion
4. Mixture screws are 3 out
5. no i havent used clear plasctic tubes to see whats in the bowels when its running
6.  No quite sure what you mean by checking at night

Update:

After all this i took the bike for a run and it went really fast and worked really well.  The next day i went to take the bike to work and at about 1/4 throttle...the bike would bog out and almost want to stall.  I then thought that maybe there was a kink in the fuel line and sure enough...it was kinked a little.  I then looked at the plugs and the plugs look white....I then thought that maybe that was because of the kinked line.

I managed to shortin the fuel line and make it so it wouldnt kink but no fix.  It still bogs at 1/4 throttle.  It idles really nice other than that.  Could this be a jet problem or what?  I took the needles back out and set the DynoJet needles on the 3rd position instead of the 2nd thinking it would give it more fuel but still no fix.

SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED:     ok...so i solved the problem.  This ones a wierd one.  In working on everything the connection for the kickstand switch was just a little unhooked (must have came loose during my  test ride).  I figured it was something electrical related as the bike would completely shutdown when coming out of 1st gear.  It would just die.  The wierd thing is that the kickstand switch doesnt even work....it doesnt seem to have any affect on the bike untill it bloody well wants to. This was really hard to troubleshoot cause the bike is 25 years old and one thing just leads to another.  I knid of expected that...lol


Since the bike would idle fine and start off fine...it was really hard to see something like that being a problem.  Oh well....PERSISTENCE pays off !!!!  NEVER GIVE UP PEOPLE! 

Special thanks to everyone along the way who helped me with my issues.  Now the bike runs awesome and is the way it should be.  Only missed like a month of riding but at lease the carbs are all set awesome , the valves are all done and i actually learned alot and know my bike inside and out now...lol
