Thanks for the advice guys,

*Edit* It just dawned on me a few years ago I bought a used set of carbs that were on a later bike, one with a fuel pump I believe. What jogged my memory was that the float valve seat was different than the ones on my old set of carbs. I mangled one of the screens and tried to change it out with one from my old carbs, and it wasen't the same. So I am fairly sure I'm running fuel pump carbs on a non fuel pump bike. Whats your thoughts about that?

The fuel pump inlets have a smaller opening, so it may cause fuel starvation at extended high-speed running....
