Allright fellas here it goes. Some of you may know the story so I will get right to it. 79 Standard, Pod filters, open header, 145 main jets, 45 pilots, new floats, brass(not adjusted or measured yet),I have used the washer in the exhaust pipes trick to add back pressure. I had two of my idle adjust/mixture screws break off in the throat of carbs 1&2. I could not get them out by any means so I drilled them out.I know probably the worst thing I could do. But it is done, 1/16 drill bit. I ran it for about 120 miles this weekend in this state. Accelerated well after about 3k rpm. The idle would hang up after I would come to a stop, unless I let the clutch out a little to bring them(rpms) down then they would stay down. 1,2,4 spark plugs came out wet and black, I mean really black. Up the threads of the plug black. I have a dremel kit that has this conical shaped tiny bit , so I cleaned the holes up (1&2 carbs)with that and used a same sized grinding bit of sorts. I noticed while doing this that I had #4 screw turned way out. So as of now I have Cleaned out this passages of any debris,inserted all of the idle mix/adjust screws to lightly seated and turned them back 1 1/2 turns. I have not tried it yet, but while the carbs are off I figured I see if any one had any other ideas for me to try. Thanks for your patience
