50MPH stall, then transmission won't work

[Jlovvorn]

I pulled a carb this morning before work, and took a quick float reading.

I think they are just too high.

But if I lower them to spec, the carbs both leak like crazy.

Maybe my gaskets are shot.

I am going to set them to spec tonight, and run with the leaks going for a bit and see if it can either confirm this is a problem or start a flash fire....

Are you setting them with the carbs upside down or at an angle? They have to be angled so that the tang on the floats is just touching the spring loaded pin in the needle valve.

I will. Thanks. Starting back on it now.

It's alive!

Changed bowl gaskets and reset float to spec.

Changed air filters to K&N, and used plumbing clamps to ensure seals at both ends of rubber tubes.

Moved needles to 2nd setting, rather than 3rd.

Fixed right hand slide in backwards (I know - what an idiot)

Replaced stock screws and threw out keyster replacement parts.

Seems to run better than ever and will idle reliably at 1200-1400.

No longer stalls after an extended run at high RPM.

Could my bike actually be running? I don't know what to say except thanks to everyone that helped, and everyone that tolerated all my posts.
