Hello. First post. I have a 78 R80/7 and everything was going pretty great with the work that I have completed. However, the other day I had to add some brake fluid (recently bled and inadvertently created an air bubble that worked its way out) and after I reinstalled the tank (done many times with no issues) the left fuel petcock started leaking from the fuel line connector threads. Apparently they became stripped as I must have crossed up the threads when re-tightening. I put a temporary fix on with some thread sealer and that fixed the leak. However, when I started the bike back up, it now runs extremely choppy. I had the carbs balanced at the local shop a couple months ago and the bike had been running like a dream up until this. I didn't make any carb adjustments at all and I am wondering if I somehow threw them out of sync because it really seems like it is running on mostly one cylinder. I checked the float bowl levels and everything checks out for a 32mm bing. Any advice?
