Fuel going in the carb? Got compression?

What model PGM1 or 2?

I'm about 100 miles NE of you in Providence, have PGM2 bike so I can loan you some parts for testing

had to go through my carbs, they were messed up good! Bike still started but ran like crap, flooded, stalled etc.

r5k is '89 PGM2 I think, does it have stainless high swept pipes like mine?
