...Thinking possible fuel starvation due to obstructed vent in cap....
Besides obstructed vent in cap, possible sources of fuel starvation also include clogged screens on petcock pickup tubes inside fuel tank. Fuel may contain suspended grit/crud hovering around and collecting on the pickup screens. Consider removing petcock and cleaning the screens, and also removing the fuel tank and flushing it out with fresh gasoline.
Or maybe the inline fuel filter is clogged and needs replacing.
With ample fuel supply in tank, cap snapped down tight, fuel line disconnected from exit nipple of in-line filter, and petcock turned on PRI, supposed to be ample continuous fuel flow from exit nipple of in-line filter. Absent continuous fuel flow from exit nipple of in-line filter, would suspect either the in-line filter is clogged, or the petcock pickup screens are clogged.
Good Luck!

1.Remove the CD sized cover on the right side of the crankshaft(foward of the clutch cover) and see if there are either ignition points or pick up coils.
2. Look around the area on the left side beneath the seat looking for an aluminum cased box with cooling fins that has IC IGNITER on it. This is the electronic item that gives your coils their grounds to fire them.

And would also visually confirm spark quality with plugs removed and held against the engine head while cranking over the engine in neutral with ignition switch turned ON.
Look for fat blue sparks.
It's usually best to leave carbs until last, because even perfect carbs can't compensate for a deficiency in fuel supply, compression, or spark quality.
Good Luck!
