No, I disassembled the carbs and dipped 'em about 1.5 years ago. Bench synched them, put 'em back on the bike, and it never ran on more than 3 cylinders after that. Turned out one of the intake manifold boots was leaking. Hence way too lean a mixture to fire cyl #2. Finally got new boots last week, put 'em on, and now I have to actually baseline again and then synch the carbs. Not looking forward to it, but the damn thing has been sitting in the garage for 3 years now and I'll be damned if I'm gonna let it sit any longer! At least it'll fire up and run on all 4 cylinders. Though it won't run off-choke.

I'm going to have to re-jet, probably, because I'm using individual foam pod filters instead of the OEM airbox. The old airbox is in real crap shape and a new one is nearly $200. Haven't tried to find a decent used one. Maybe I should...
