Looks as though you still have some clutch problems.. Do you have a picture repair manual in front of you? Are the clutch plates in the correct sequence and position? Also, if the plates do not free-wheel when the lever is depressed, the plates will grag the clutch pack and drag along with the flywheel. You should be able to depress the clutch lever and be in gear with the engine running without the bike moving.. If it wants to move, then the clutch has some problems, or the clutch cable may be damaged and not allowing the full throw of the rod in the release bearing.. That's all there is.. There ain't no more..
Now to the engine.. Is the idle set to specs? High engine idle rpm will wreak havock with the clutch adjustment AND carb balance.. Balancing is NOT performed by vacuum pressure. It is based on the one carb that cannot be adjusted.. Whichever carb that is, (usually #4), you set all the other carbs to the setting from that one carb. What ever it shows on the vacuum guage.. If it shows 5", then all the carbs are set at 5". If it shows 12", then all the carbs are set at 12"..The idle rpm must also be set at the same time so they all read the same vacuum at curb idle..
