Another quick update. I got busy with work and school and didnt have time to work on the carbs. I gave them to my guy KC who works at a dealer. He knows a good bit about the v4 carbs.

Two day turn around is awesome when you know somebody.

He uncovered two things. The first was two of the four needles were completely clogged. He said this is what was causing the bad idling and muddy fueling below 4k rpm. The main problem was 2 stuck float valves which led to the breakdown. Of course this caused the carbs to piss out all the extra fuel from the overflow valve, which is why it dripped forever. He also didnt charge me for any new parts he put in them.

They'll go back in tomorrow.
