first make sure your springs and cable are all correct. not broken, hanging up or whatever. if your SURE the butterflies are closing properly. clean the carbs. i've had more than 1 carb do this.79 F full cruiser, stainless brake lines, spade fuses, Accel coils, modded air box w/larger velocity stacks, 750 FD.

It might be an air leak. Pull the carbs and intake boots. Then reseal the boots with Yamabond #5 where they meet the cylinder head. Put it all back together and se how she runs.

If you used silicone slealer probably otherwise it depends on how long ago you did it.
While you have it apart, hang the cable with a bag of oil on one end to lube it. It never hurts and is much better than spray lubes.
