    Did you install an inline fuel filter to kep crud out of your freshly cleaned carbs?
    Did you replace the float needles and seats?
    Did you wet-set the floats?

    Seeing how the Packers are playing right now working on your bike is a better option . . . .

    What level did you wet set your carb bowls at?

    Check the vacuum line on the fuel tank. If there is a pinhole in the vacuum diaphram on the petcock it will allow the tank to drain into the crankcase via the vacuum line.
