Check to see if your needle is bent or maybe sand is getting in there at the dunes. :shrug:

When you tightened the new caps on the carbs....did you hand tighten them...or use a pair of channel locks.

They only need to be snug by hand. Use the L Brackets to hold them in place.

 

I've seen them stick before because the caps were too tight..

what intake and filter you runnin?

 

if its a K&N double check for rips, if sand gets in, it can cause your slides to stick.

stock carbs? might want to check the cable at the junction box and make sure the housing is good.. somtimes it can break apart and the peices get stuck and wont let the cable seat right in the housing.. seen it happen a few times..

take some scotch brite or emery paper adn clean the edge of the slide and the bore of the carb. there is some casting marks on the slide that some times stick. my stockers did the same and after cleaning them up they never had a problem.

 

might be worth a shot.
