Just thought I would share a problem that I had with the cb650Z.
It was running a little erratic and after rolling off the throttle it would take a few seconds to power up. I thought it was definately a carb problem so I stripped (total strip down) down a spare set and dunked them in maraine clean, used an air hose to blow out any s--t, put in new seals etc, I even went anal and zinc plated all the exterior fitting. They really looked brill. Put them on and the same prob occured.
B-ll-c-s I thought.
Well it turned out that I had unwittingly fitted resitor plugs and resistor caps which is fine on new bikes but not so clever on an old bike with 30 years of wear and tear on it. I changed the plugs to bog standard D8EA and fitted new resitor caps. What a difference! All 'carb' problems solved.
Something to consider before a full strip!
