So after cleaning and reassembling both carbs, it looks like the pistons in the second carb keep getting stuck open, and won't slide back down unless I tap on the side of the carb. The diaphragm looked fine, so I'm not sure what they are getting hung up on.

Did you clean the slides and the bores they ride in?
You might be able to remove the slides without removing the carbs from the bike. Remove the caps, then lift the yoke with the two slides. Spray some carb cleaner on a rag, then wipe the slides and the bores. Before re-assembly, test fit each slide in its bore to see if it is smooth.

I just wanted to give you all an update..
I found a few more issues with the carburetor after cleaning it and putting it back together, but I was able to fix and reassemble them. I hooked the carbs back up last night, and tried to start it. It took about 5 tries, but I finally got it running! It's the first time that bike has ran since 2002, so the startup smelled awful! I will have to hook the airbox back up and reassemble the rest of the bike for a test run. I'm sure I will find more issues when I go to ride it, but I wanted to thank all of you for your help with the carbs and my electrical issues! You all definitely helped steer me in the right direction!
