Update on the machine. I took the carbs out, fixed the float height as one of them was overflowing into the plenum and also in the combustion chamber which caused gas pouring from the downpipe and of course way too rich gaz mixture. Now verything is back in place and the bike runs much smoother.

Found out the stator wires were burning so I just took the faulty connector out and soldered/isolated the wires together which fixed the issue quick and easy.

Still have to sync the carbs together, but the bike is already much smoother and there is no more smell of gas or rich mixture from the exhaust.

Waiting on some parts to fix the turn signal lights and headlight to the bike will be up and running! More pictures to come :)
