Ok finally got the bike running good. End problem and probably the problem the whole time ended up being previous owners fault. The two larger t-fitting on the carbs that used to run into the carcoal canisiter(i believe) were capped. The bike would run and rev great for the first 2mins after it started. But would start to cut out like it was straved for gas. We eliminated the gas tank by using a fuel bottle and still had the same problem so knew it wasnt the petcock. We then decieded that the carb wasnt venting properly and possible creating a vaccum within the carb. Took the little caps off and ran great.
Ran it around town for 30mins and all is well. No oil leaks. Tranny shifts great. Gonna pull the forks this weekend if i have time and hand them over to a friend to rebuild and install emulators. Now i gotta call the dmv and hope the previous owner wasnt lying about it being on non op. Hope they dont try to screw me.
Ahhhh.... the bowl vent plugged syndrome..... I see now.
And yes, those are vents, OEM condition has a clear plastic line from each, that runs upwards, and along the spine of the frame, and the hoses terminate up there just ahead of the battery box, on the frame...
There are metal clips up there hat hold them in place normally..
I've seen them completely clogged by spider egg pods before, and its tough to see all the time..
