I would try checking the rubber between the carb and motor for air leaks,and/or spray carb cleaner through while running with the air box open.
Hope this helps.

When you say you cleaned out the gummed up carbs how did u go about doing that ? I have a 78 xs1000 yamaha i've since new with almost 400,000 miles on it an multiple carbs can be , well a challange lol i get a gallon of carb dip , and disassble and soak them them individually for a few hours each then ued a can of carb cleaner and a small brush to finish blowing all the small a vents etc clean and low pressure air blower , its tedius and time consuming but its better to do them once than pulling them off an chasing problems cause u didnt
Disassemble and clean the Carbs. That might be all you need to do. CBike Carbs have small Jets and this ethanol gas is very bad for Carb'd vehicles. It evaporates quick and causes much growth in the carb.
Has the bike been sitting? It sounds like a carb issue. Most times they backfire because they are running too lean.Also,check for vacuum leaks around the intake using brake clean while the bike is running.If the idling characteristics change when you spray it,then you know you have an intake leak.If the bike has been sitting for a while,then the carbs may need to come off,and be cleaned and synched.
got a 750 intruder that had been sitting for a long time chopped it up made a 4wheeler out of it. Im having problems getting it to fire up alot of back fire and an occasional fire cleaned carb real good just want to get it running so i can move on with project
you need to clean the carbs. the pilot and air bleds are blocked. make sure that you remove the air/fuel screw. you maybe to use something more then carb spray. Good luck Mark C.C. Motorsports (361) 885-7787
When cleaning a multi carb bike, it is best to take them all off. Clean and reset float levels on both. Then reinstall, set both idle mixture screws about 1 turn out. Then adjust, and you'll probably have to syncronise them also.
Nothing. Your best bet is to give to a professional. If you are somewhat mechanically inclined, you can tackle the job yourself. If you can get past dismounting the carburetors while remembering how it is installed into the bike (I recommend taking pictures), then you are more than capable of cleaning the carbs yourself. Let me know if you need any help with that. A service manual can be very helpful during this and other repair jobs. Remember, riding your bike is more fun after you fix something yourself.
hey apparently and did are two different stories draining the float bowls and cleaning the carbs are two different things the fact that the choke dosent change suggest the carbs are stopped up after sitting for 1 year clean the carbs let them soak in carb cleaner and blow them out with high pressure air, keep notes of the adjustments befor you dissasemble them (air screws)
