Huh? You can't see the place where the choke (enrichening valve) seals. The
only way to verify is to inspect the rubber disk at the bottom of the choke
plunger and to insure that the outer cable jacket has at least 1/16" slack
when the choke is off. You could easily have adjusted the choke cables too
tight on both carbs.

How about you remove the choke bodies, disconnect the cables, reinsert the
choke bodies and ride it that way for a day to insure that the choke bodies
are sealing down?
