lol
- just run 40:1 its afe ratio and easier to mix with 5 gallons just pour the 16 oz bottle in and be done
- pull carbs apart and clean thoroughly, blow out ALL passages then adjust float level, think is 24 mm? or 21 cant remember look up south texas banshee video will show you how to do it, this will stop your leakage from the carbs with the gas. also make sure choke tube between carbs is hooked up chief
- find out the jet sizes, the main jet has nothing to do with your issue right now since its just at starting. Make sure they are genuine mikuni jets, ive seen jetting issues arise with knock off jets.
-27.5 pilot with air screw half turn out would be a safe place to start if all you have is pipes and small stuff like that
imo buying a single carb setup because you cant get the stockers to run is a waste of money sounds like user error to me
