I think 1700 is a bit high. 1200 for timing purposes. As low as the bike
likes for idle.

The idling down and quitting is strange. Do you mean when you switch into
gear with the clutch pulled? Do you think that the clutch plates might be
grabbing?

After adjusting the valves, I am attempting to adjust
carbs and get a decent idle. If I remember correctly,
Ian said the idle for Eldorado's was 1700rpm? That seems
high, but WTF do I know.
I have gotten it to idle smoothly in neutral, but when I
pull the clutch in she idles down and dies. What gives?
