Hate to say it but may need to clean the carbs again. Also check the
diaphragms in the carbs by pushing them up and look and listen to how
they respond. Do they all return at the same rate with a similiar
'whoosh' sound? Are the enrichners (choke) closing properly. Let it
run for a while with the throttle open a little and then check the
spark plugs. Are they fouled (getting too much gas) or white (being
starved of gas)?

I have a 1985 Honda Nighthawk cb700s that stopped running. It started
to ride really choppy then when I put in the parking lot it just died.
I checked for a spark which looked ok and the compression looked ok to
me ( I do not have a compression tool, I checked by feeling air
shooting out of the spark plug hole), it was cranking like it wanted
to start but when I finally got it home it didn't even crank. The next
day it started to crank again. I was smelling a lot of gas so I
checked the air box and it had gas in it. I drained the gas from the
air box and tried to start it again and the gas come back in the air
box. I replaced the petcock gaskets almost a year ago and got a new
battery 2 months ago. Yesterday I drained all of the gas from the bike
and put 1gul in the tank and it started up but won’t idle correctly.
Today a cleaned the crabs and recheck the fuel line and fuel filter. I
started it up and idle ok but on a fast rav it tries to stall and on a
slow rav it is ok. I tested the batter way the bike was off it tested
at 12.5 V and tested it when I was raving it tested at 14.5V.
I had Sportland tested the regulator/rectifier and it tested good. So
I don’t thank the problem is the crabs or the alternator or the
regulator/rectifier. Does anybody have suggestions to help me out?
Thanks for any help Ryan
