There is a passage on Suzuki CV carbs that are not explained in the article and easy to miss. The Pilot Jet (rubber inset blacking fuel from the float bowl) gets fuel from the "Mail Needle Jet", basically that is the long brass tube the main jet screws into. You will find a small passage going from there to the pilot jet port, this passage gets clogged very easily and is the root cause of a lot of bikes not idle'ing properly. Always clean this passage when doing a teardown.

when the bowels in my 1100E would dry out, I would pull the carbs, remove the bowels, pull the pilot jets and blast them out with spray carb cleaner and reassemble.
done!
