Remove the carbs, then the boots from the engine. Use a good (must say gasoline resistant!) gasket sealer like Permatex Motoseal - gray tube. You can use paper gasket from a local hardware store and cut your own, just greese each side of the gasket before installation.
Make sure everything is nice and clean before install.
Both sides - engine and airbox, must seal air tight to prevent the lean rev-up.
Try spraying some wd40 around the carb intakes, the carb tops, linkages, chokes, etc... anywhere that air could suck in, and watch for a change in exhaust color and an audible change in the engine/rpm.
Good luck.

Yes, thats what I was trying to remember :laugh:
Could be so many things that will hang up the throttle cable. Look at the carbs when revving the bike, to see if the throttle returns all the way to stop when the revs hang.
