Nope, and these old carbs are soo picky you will be a PRO at getting them on/off in no time. Its not too hard.

If I remember right, you have a situation where your carbs were set up to run without an air filter(bad idea) and now it runs rich because you put a filter in?  Have you played with the mixture screws at all?  Could you describe what the bike does durring high rev hesitaton....no power, throttle is flat, backfiring, poping at the carbs....that kinda thing.  A good way to check your fuel mixture would be to warm it up, take it for a spin at cruising speed, then hit the throttle so it hesitates as you mentioned, then shut her down and pull a plug or two.  Compare them to this..
