Welcome to BHQ !! Try cleaning carbs again, disasembleing them ONE at a time. Be sure to reattach choke cross over tube. Are you sure you got the float bowls on the correct carb? They are different !!

like Larry's shee said clean the carbs again, varnish gets built up and sometimes takes 2 or 3 cleans to get out. also make sure the slides are in sync. and make sure the filter is clean and oiled properly and sealed to the air box with some grease.

 

you've been bitten by the Banshee bug, it's a great feeling two stroke twins rule
