So I removed the carbs for the first time about a week ago to clean them in an effort to fix a problem that I've been having with my bike for a while, which was that it would start and run for a while, but would inevitably sputter and die. So I cleaned the carbs really well and put them back, and then I started the bike using the choke since it was cold. Once the bike warmed up the RPM shot up to 7000 RPM.
I have checked everything that I know to check. The choke is off, the idle screw isn't even touching the throttle, the vacuum tube is connected to the petcock, and the carbs seem to be seated into both the engine and airbox correctly. I have read that it could be an air leak in the intake manifold somewhere, but I am unsure about how I would check that.
I miss riding my bike. Its the middle of the summer and I've been working on my bike and its been passing me by. Any help is greatly appreciated.
