Just to be safe, take a close look at your float needles. The soft rubber tips get hard and don't seal as good after 30 years. Plus you should look close at the float needle seat as it might have some build up. I have found that a Q tip with a gentle compound, even toothpaste works, to clean the seat. The float needles can still be purchased as it's a common part across several Kehin carbs.

The above may not be your issue, but since you got the carbs off might as well have a look.
