Gary,

Did you get new needles for the carbs during your overhaul?

I bought a carb rebuild kit from Moss, and the needles were both different 
sizes, and way to fat... I couldnt idle without choke and it ran rough when 
they were in.  Might want to put your old needles back in if you have them 
(and if you replaced them).
