Default Just Pushed my bike home, need help plz

Okay, so like the title says, i just push this effin cibber home and it took 2 hours after replacing these,

With some brand new ones, and i figured holy hell this bike will finally run right, then in the middle of the swap, clear *** day, blam thunder storm. Immediatly cover the bike even tho the carbs were still off and wait for the rain to stop. Uncover the bike and finish the job and start it up and it idles without surging now so it sounds like the vacuum leak is gone. I turn it off go inside get my gear fire it back up and start cruising. Didnt get to open it up because i was in town but it was running pretty strong. Then, i was like well i'll grab gas from bp. Fill her up with 93 and start it, and it starts sounding funny like its firing off 3 cylinders. then i ride thinking it'll clear up but no it just starts to sputter then slowly dies so i pull over.

Some nice guy stayed with me for about 4 hours trying to fix this, we ripped the tank off threw starter fluid in the carbs and nothing, sometimes it would pop or back fire but never actually wanted to start. It started once, but then died right after.

So im stumped, i really could use some assistance guys, walking a bike home for 2 hours is not fun, AAA wouldn't even help because i didnt have rv insurance... The f is rv insurance and Eff AAA

What are those, carb boots? Is your petcock flowing fuel? Pull a vacuum on the vacuum line and see if fuel flows out.

Firstly, the F2 doesn't require 93 octane. 87 is more than enough.

Second, holy hell. What the heck happened to your carb boots? That might be a sign of something else going wrong. But like recommended by others, are you getting a spark from all 4 plugs?

Those boots were from the previous owner I'm going to pull the plugs today and check for compression as well.

Was the gasket sealant and attempt to fix a like or something...'cause it's not needed. Worse if the sealant broke off and ended up in the cylinder.
