Topic: carb probs

[cb(r)]

71 cb 350. 
running condition:  I can kickstart the bike and it idles about nice but slightly on the rough side.  this condition was before and after I rebuilt the carbs. 
the problem:  when I twist the throttle (slow or fast) the bike bogs down and then dies.  a couple of kickstarts and it starts and idles again.  I do, at the moment have the air cleaners off.  I had them on and off prior to carb rebuild. 
I set the idle mix screws at diff position and it did nothing. 
could there be an air leak on the intakes?
head gasket?
I also put new floats in maybe they need adjusting?
help I am almost out of ideas.  the big hammer technique is starting to be my only option.
thanks in advance.

two ideas off the top of my head:

1.) Check the Neddles. Make sure they are raising when you twist the throttle. They might be broken.

2.) How is your timing?

Turn the choke off?

ya needles are fine they are working well.

I will check the timing though.  I just wanted to make sure there was not something I was overlooking on the carb side.
thanks for the input

 I tried with choke off and on.  still I have probs I think KBO2 is probably right.  I really was hoping it would be something easy like the choke though.  thanks for the post
