the bike, head lights got to go!!!!!!!

some pics of the head and carbs.

so i hit a wrong button and only saved that first part lol. heres the rest. i'm not sure if the pics work first time using photo bucket and stuff. Ok well i am new to this site. i've been trying to do a lot of research before i act stupid or ask stupid questions. But I would rather know than not know at all... So I got the ache and searched for a bike for about two months. i finally found one that was cheap enough and that wanted my tlc. It's a 97' and didn't run at the time. The guy I bought it from said that it did before at the beging of the summer before I bought it. It has been sitting for a while outside. So I had a really good look at it and it didn't look that bad, i got some pics. I t has some after market parts from Dave Ripps(r.i.p.), looks like cool head, and spacers. it also has t5 pipes and unknown silencers. with k&N dual pod filters and outer wears. I got it home and took out the plugs, they where just nasty as hell. new ones went in. I went ahead and pulled the carbs( one at a time) and checked what i t was running, it's got 280 main and 27.5 secoundary(?), everything looked clean inside the carbs nothing out of place or nasty. The tors has been eliminated but the idle screws have not been put in place. So after tinkering with everything i got it started probably after a few houndred kicks( what it seemed like) and it came alive! let it ran for a bit and tried to let it idle, no go. so i know i already answered that question( idle screw mod). So i am going to change the crank case oil and trans oil and get that old fuel out. Haven't given it a ride yet but when i had it running i checked the clutch out and the gears grab and clutch ingaged so that might be good, we'll see when i get to take it out. oh and I live in portland oR so i'm going to ride at the coast is the jetting close? what a good way to tune the carbs? like the air /fuel mixture and such. That and i really don't know what has been done to the motor like what kind of domes are in it or if its had any port jobs or stator or clutch or anything. gonna take more time and pull all the covers off and check it all ou. Going to do the carb caps and the the idle adjustment mod. Anything else to make my life easier in the future? any tips or anything right now let me have it. i want to know as much as i possible about my new banshee!!!!!!!!!
