Vacuum sync carbs?

Leaky carb boot couplers?

When I saw this I misread the title as "Carb cleaner messed up my carbs" and was expecting pictures of scorched and melted alloy...

What TT says; you must have a leak somewhere or have buggered up the balance while reassembling them.

Did you take the throttle sliders right out?  If so, you'll definitely need to rebalance them.
