RE: He is using 2 carbs, but I have advice still :)

Thanks for the advice. I put a vacuum gauge on it. I used the large port on the throttle plate. The front carb is running 10", the back carb is running about 10.5" - 11".

I went running to the store to buy 55 power valves, but the guy at the store said my carbs came with 65's. I doubt 1" is going to make a big difference. Agree?

That made me wonder that maybe the power valve on the back carb was opening. Without the throttle plate open (progressive linkage), it was flooding. Is that why there were BJ/BK carbs? Does the back carb on the original GT-500 have a different metering block/power valve?

Perhaps I need to put a 35 or 45 power valve in the back carb. I know one option is to go to the 450's, but then I'd have to get rid of the 600's. I'd rather just make the 600's work.
This thread, so far...
