Hello, my bike starts and will idle for 5 to 10  minutes at about 1800 rpm and then slowly taper down and die.  I am going to tear my carbs down and give them a good cleaning.  Is there a kit anyone is selling with replacement parts like seals and stuff?  Any help or insight would be great.

O.C.D.

Not a "kit" so to speak but you can get the parts at a dealer.  There may be aftermarket ones but I always stick to OEM.

I sell a O ring pack if you have an 89-00.
I'd guess you have a gas leak into the vacuum line. Is one cyl bruning rich ? left ?

Hey Buddah,

I looked at both plugs and both look pretty sooty.   Could I fix a fuel leak into a vacuum line with your o-ring pack and changing vacuum line?  How does payment work for o-ring pack?

No you dont have fuel leak into a vacuum line ... that will make the left very rich and right - nothing.
You just have a high float caused either by a float tang that has bent itself very very high or a leaking float seat O ring.
You could in all other aspects be lean.
You fix this and the next ring of problems from being lean will surface, you can fix it by jetting it right.
IMHO, test floats, open it, test for leaks, clean, re seal and rejet.
Cool.
Buddha.
