Carburetors

So here is my story. I thought I should tell you all about my work on my motorcycle. Last week I worked from 11pm-2am (taking off the gas can and cleaning the filter stuff) Friday night and then again from 9am-2am Saturday on my carburetors. Due to an absolute miracle and some good food/fuel throughout the day from Mom and Holly, Andrew and I were able to pull out, clean out, and reinstall the carburetors. You all should have been there at 2am in the morning when we fired it back up and it actually worked! Thanks Andrew for helping, and Mom and Holly for feeding and Mike for letting us use his garage! Hopefully I will be able to tune it all up this week and it will work good as new. Here were a few of the highlights I sent to a friend of mine who knows about bike repair. If you have any suggestions give me a call!

Questions:

• Where do you hook the manometer up? I can see where you tune it, but what pressure is being checked?
• Is the nozzle that i am missing something that would be in a carb kit? (see below) Without knowing what it is I couldnt tell if the kit has it.
• Could the idling problem (see below) be due to unbalanced carbs?
• I need a manometer set up
  

Biggest problems:

• Stripping the brass screws everywhere and turning them in to flat head screws-i ended up putting in almost all new steel ones.
• Figuring out how to get stripped screws out without a clamp (I had my brother put all his weight down on it and they broke with a wrench)
  
• Finding replacement (metric) screws that would fit right-the heads were almost too big
• Putting the carbs back in and aligning them with the hoses and stuff took nearly 3 hrs because we didnt know what we were doing.
• I am missing the little nozzle at the base of the gas jet (the middle jet). The pipe thing with the holes in the sides is still there, just not the screw thing at the end. It was missing before I even opened the carb.
• It actually runs! (YAY) but now maybe worse than before? It wont idle at all or even coast to stop signs with the clutch down.
• I'm probably missing some others...Andrew, do you remember?
