CArburator? know a good mechanic in San diego..??
My motorcycle will start.. it does so with some hesitation..but once started seems as if it is warming up normally.. once you go to take off.. imeadiately notice that at low rpm it is totally lacking power.. sounds as if both cyclinders are firing though..then with working throttle it will rise in rpm pretty normally.. at higher rpm bike seems to have normal amount of tq..soon the bike will choke itself out and not want to start without choke out or throttle being worked with started..wondering if seafoam is going to address this problem..running out ideas and i lost the number to a guy who works on hondas and i trust in San Diego.. guy was a former harley mechanic and now has a out of the house buisness fixing customer motorcyles and rebuilding out cb 550s and other cafe type projects.. he is a total perfectionist and really cool dude.. if anyone knows this guy or somone in san diego i can take this poor motorcycle to i would appreciate the heads up.. im pretty sure the bike is sick of me tinkering with it.

You should have one vaccum line that runs from the rear cylinder head, seen from the left hand side of the bike just under the carb inlet rubber. And runs to the petcock, on the side as mentioned NOT ON THE BOTTOM NIPPLE. If you have any other vacuum lines then they will be for a vacuum fed chain oiler or something and will run of a T Piece tapped off the above mentioned vacuum pipe. There may also be one fitted to the front cylinder for ease of carb balancing/syncing. But this is not standard. As standard you should just have the one of the rear.
Bottom left you can see where the rear vacuum feed comes off to feed the petcock.

Geez what kind of crap have you dumped down your intakes?
Well done sneeze. The petcock has caught most people out in the past.
