If you can't get the carbs to sync you may have a vaccum leak... Most likely the manifold is no longer properly sealing, either damaged, oring shot, or carb clamp not tight. You may also have a clogged or damaged pilot jet. This assumes you followed the correct sync  procedure. Sent from

Hello everybody, I believe the carb boots that go from the air filter to the carbs on my 83 650 are shot. Honda no longer sells them. You can find some used on e-bay, but 30 year old rubber is 30 year old rubber. Has anyone ever tried going to individual air filter pods on each carburetor?
