Yes I did blow all the holes out with compressed air. The diaphragms are in great shape with no cracks or holes. Right now my pilot screws are at 2 5/8 turns out (as per manual). Should I go up to 3-4? And - is there a way to adjust them without taking he carbs off? Also, I took off the spark plug - looked ok ( not to carbonized, and not wet). It did smell of gas a lot. The spark is working (on the 1st carb) - it produces a spark ! So I’ll keep running the bike gently hoping that my carbs start to work - all of them as intended. Thank you all.
Ps - Michael, the bike looks nice!
