Took it apart, re-shimmed the slides where my dumbass left one off yesterday, my uncle dropped by and helped me check them out. We set the air-fuel screws, and they were way out of whack with each other.
I also took the tank into work with me today, let the nasty old gas drain, dropped it ( :twisted: now I'm repainting it sooner than I thought, it will be my "hey, you rode for a week and didn't kill yourself present), then filled it with shiny new mid-grade.
Cranked it up and let it warm up, then started revving it again and it WORKS! WOOHOOO! :bootyshake: It could probably be fine tuned a little bit but it certainly gets the job done.
Now it goes, time to focus on making it stop. He just used a capped line as a fluid reservoir in the rear, and I think I'll put an actual reservoir on it. I need some line for the front that runs from the reservoir to the handle that's made to hold brake fluid, the plastic one is all swollen up. Then I need to bleed the front and rear after I do that, and she ought to stop alright.
