    correct, it just dies if the choke is pushed in.

    I dunked (per the cleaning guide linked everywhere on this site)and ran a bristle of a brush through the pilot jets and tubes. and all slots allowed carb cleaner spray to shoot through cleanly.
    I sprayed the carb boots with starter fluid and no effect one way of the other while running.
    The air box is installed. With new air filter.
    The exhaust is stock- rusty but no holes in it. baffles installed.

    New random thing. When it is running high. I put the Carb Synch tool on the adjuster and the engine starts dying off almost immediately.

    Not sure about the idle adjust knob. I will check that out this afternoon. I think I'm just going to get new boots. I really don't want to have to take the carbs apart again to check the pilot jet just to be sure.

    ITS SO NICE OUT! Granted the roads are the worst I have seen them in 10 years. Potholes that can swallow a car let alone a bike. It sucks. But I still wanna ride.

      Idle adjust knob... so that's what that thing is. I guess it shouldn't be all the way out. Huh?

      What should it sit at whilst idling?

      Yay. I vacuum sunk them now.
      Thanks eil.

      I knew it was something absolutely stupid I was missing.

        Much better something stupid and overlooked, than something expensive and replaced...
