Pluuling my hair out/ help!!!

do I need to have the motor cold for 24 hours like on my XR or can I do it sooner?

24h is the recommended wait time on the motor for valve adjustments. You may as well do a compression test while you are waiting to get an idea of what might be happening.

Ok, ive been pouring over this site for a week now, I think I got it figured out but I would like some input for the gurus here. My problem is my bike ran great(81 gs650g only 20k on it), was on a ride and was comming into town doing about 45 in 5th, the bike sputtered some and didnt have the right throttle response. I downshifted and the bike pulled out of it and ran fine, I figured it was time to clean the carbs again because of the rust in my tank, didnt think much of it. I park the bike for about an hour. get back on it and when I start the bike up it has a slight miss, and my friend noticed some fuel dripping out of the airbox plenum, I road for 5 mins with no performance issues until I came to a stop, then it was spitting and sputtering like crazy, and running like it had a dead cylender. So I tore down the carbs, cleaned em, put em back togeather, same. tore carbs down again, re cleaned em, was VERY meticulous this time, there perfect. I bench synced em, (feeler gauge) and still nothing.
This lead me to believe that its a ignition system issue, coils passed ressistance checks, primary and secondary, signal generator passed. but when I did the ignitor test I had no spark fire on either applying the probe or removing the probe. is there any other way to test the ignitor? this was the only test my book gave for it. Any help would be much appreciated because this is my commute ride and the 50mpg is the only thing making my 500 mile a week commute worth it.

You are going to have to let me in on your secret. I'm nowhere near 50mpg yet, and I've got a pretty good handle on all of the maintenance issues.

I ran new power to the coils and it fixed the original symptom, now lets assume my valve clearances are within spec, and my carbs are factory fresh. Could my ignitor be to blame? It passed the ressistance test but could it be affected by low voltage too like the coils, and create issues at higher rpms. Because right now thats the only place where things are not right

My seceret is doing the speed limit

You titled this post "pulling my hair out/help"- that's what folks here are attempting to do; offering real world advice on matters they know well. You can jump around and wonder/guess what's gone wrong or just find out.
I think you've been lucky getting 10 k , but now the bike is telling you something is wrong. There's a bunch of common problems that need to be addressed - ignore them at your own peril.
