Sounds like the carbs need to be synchronized. YouTube has a home version of how to do it.
bring it up..bring ammo..easy repair!
Imay make one of those contraptions but would rather have it done by a pro.

no..just had may bikes over they years and do all my own work ,engines and carbs and frame work and paint...but a vacuum gauge pod or two of them some adapters(kit) on eBay or harbor freight is 60$ or less...watch some YouTube vids and do it yourselfImay make one of those contraptions but would rather have it done by a pro.
more than likely they just need to be cleaned...the right way...What year is the bike?nevermind i saw itImay make one of those contraptions but would rather have it done by a pro.
Two carbs is easy. The hardest part will be making the sync tool.
What needs to be clean the right way? It has an epoxy liner in the tank, new petcock, fuel lines, and both carbs. The should be super clean.
How would a homemade manometer be calibrated? Just curious.
As far as carb sych, in the case of a small twin like that, I'd get a feeler gauge (about .020-.030 should be fine, I've heard of guys using a small diameter drill bit as well) and match each throttle blade to the size. Carb synch is mostly only relevant to about an 1/8th turn throttle opening.
You can make some adjustments after it's running if needed but it'll get you in the park and running a little quicker than making a tool that you may or may not know how to use.
Don't forget to turn your idle speed adjuster up or down a little. It'll be hard to start if too open and race when it does, or not start at all if idle is too low obviously.

I had a rough running Yamaha twin many, many years ago. My older friend popped off the air filters, stuck two fingers in the intakes, and adjusted the linkage. I was amazed at the difference. A little knowledge and five minutes of work transformed the RDS3C into a screaming riceburner. I was ready to challenge Yvon Duhamel in the 250 at Daytona. I hope your fix is as easy.
