When you cleaned the carbs, did you take off the top covers and clean the piston/needle and walls, air bleeds, and check the rubber diaphragm for tears or holes? When you put the top covers back on, did you use Vaseline
in the groove of the diaphragm? An air leak there and the carbs won't run for crap.

confirmed! lever is on the side but it appears to be an aftermarket choke? its definitely not the OEM assembly, perhaps one from a different bike. I'll take it apart next thursday cause i'll have time then. The bike has had a yzf tank conversion so i didnt even see a petcock in there. seems like i have some restoring to do!
