off-idle stumble or hesitation ... hmm ... too lean ? , semi-clogged pilot jet ?, valve adjustment always helps, ya

This recent thread had a similar problem (the bike would idle, but died on throttle):

Turned out to be clogged pilot jets. As ohgood suggested, maybe yours are partially blocked?

i dont think so i just put them in the setup i am running is 150/40/3turns/2washers and iv checked the floats and im still stalling of the start whenever i stop unless i revit to like 3 or 4k and i dont want to keep doing that and i want the throttle to be right on not lagging... any advice?? i was thinking of trying to adjust the air/fuel screw another 1/4 of a turn... o and im a dumbass i also need to sync the carbs that may fix my problem right there... :cookoo: :dunno_white:
