when you had the carbs off the second time did you soake them in carb solvent and blow out all the small holes. mainly the ones for the slow speed circuit. if it runs with choke but not without its almost always the pilot jets being pluged, at least it has been for me.

PODS ARE BAD MODS. There are alot of Pod Haters and there are alot of pod heads.Punny Huh. If you didn't rejet it for pods then its not going to help your problem. I am a stocky Jocky. It was made that way by people who spent lots of time and trials to get it to run good stock. Best left alone or buy a Harley. Someone who has had the same problem will be with you shorty.
pods are not bad mods....how many drag bikes have ya seen with stock air boxes?....pods are just one part of the equation in making a bike faster.....

Pods are almost as bad as running old air in your tires.

Ok, Ok, I didnt mean to start an argument about pods..... just wondering. The answer for me is to go back to stock, because I cant afford the 140$ jetting kits out there. What I have discovered by doing some more reading here is that I need to get a rebuild kit just in case my float needle is bad. However it seems to me that my bike would actually run if it were just a matter of flooding????? Some help here. could it be flooding sooooo much that it wont even run?
Based on the initial report, imo "flooding" likely isn't an issue. Chances are the existing float valves and floats remain perfectly serviceable, as is often the case. And a "rebuild kit" may not be needed. Perhaps no new parts will be required.
Would concur with timebomb's advice about the carb primary circuits not yet being thoroughly clean.
Good Luck!
