It's your pilot jets, and soaking them won't do it. You need to take a piece of copper wire (softer material than the jet so it doesn't scratch it) and run it through the jet hole until cleaned out. Your bike will run like a champ after this.

Yep. Cleaned the jets with a strand of copper wire soaked the carbs and it runs like a Champ. Needs tuned but no biggie
