Just put the carbs back in after rebuild. The vacuum sliders for the jet needles were not working. I figured the diaphragms had slipped upon reassembly. Pulled them and applied a gasket adhesive to help hold them in place and re-installed. The sliders work great! Gas is now pouring out a tube at the bottom of the bike. I'm thinking when I had the carb assembly on each side I must have dislodged one or both of the float needle valves. I reeeeeeealy don't want to tear them down again but it looks like no other alternative. Do you guys think I have it figured right as a float needle dislodged from tipping the carb assembly?
