anyone have problems with rebuild kits from Keyster Carureator parts? what started as a cleaning last winter has turned into a fiasco,every time i pull my carbs i end up puutting original parts back in 1 at a time and the bike runs better! only thing i didn't use was their needles until last week i decided to try them now the bike runs like crap,originals going back in next week

There is a phrase that gets used quite often and it sounds like it applies to you.  "You've been Keystered".   Do a search, lots of problems with those kits.  If I remember correctly the needles have a different taper to them than stock as well as other issues.
