Is the idle s,rew the big white screw thing underneath middle of carb?? And which direction should I turn clock or counter? And the vacum line from petcock 2 that goes on top towards valves rt...

yes, the big white screw is for the idle.  Hard to describe, but clockwise raises the idle, counterclockwise lowers the idle.

And I guess I would want more idle..


i would suggest you need some more idle..............Idle should be at 1250 rpm's when the bike is fully warmed up.

Got that but the problem im hsving is the bike doesnt stay on even with the choke on .?

Try the petcock on PRIME position. That will fill the carbs with gas. Also eliminates the possibility you connected the vacuum line up wrong to the petcock.

If bike then runs, we have some information to go on.

I tried that the bike will start but then put it on fuel shut off I tried checking if I have a steady fuel flow by putting it on prime n seeing if fuel come out..

I'm not sure what you're saying here.
Where did you look for fuel? Fuel coming out of where?
The posting is in rather broken English. Hard to understand with incomplete sentences and no punctuation.
Post pictures. that will help us. Probably something connected wrong and we might spot it.
