The bowl were actually clean. A little varnish film, which cleaned up
easily, but otherwise looked good. I do believe the pilot jets may have
been restricted with varnish. After soaking,cleaning, washing with soap and
water, blowing dry, I had put the carbs back together using the original
o-rings and gaskets and found fuel drafting from around the brass stem that
the needle jet rides in. I subsequently replaced the o-rings and gaskets.
The bike seemed fine. Weeks later same problem.
