I have a 1981 ZK750 and I cant seem to figure out why it wont idle it will crank and pop but wont idle. I just had the carbs rebuilt and before it the the same situation, i had them rebuilt in hopes that the carbs were the cause of the problem...

Checked valve clearance? Are the plugs wet with gas? Checked float levels on carbs?
