Default Wierd power loss problem

So i got my carbs cleaned and sync'd, and since then ive been having a really wierd problem that i cant put my finger on. After the bike gets totally warmed up it will randomly lose power, not just underpowered, but its almost like there is no spark, it will just die. If i hold the throttle down it will start acting jumpy, power in, power out. I never have this problem when i first start it for the day, but if im off it for 20 to an hour and come back it doesn't want to start. I smell fuel coming out of the pipe, so that makes me think its electrical, but since it only happens when its warm, im at a total loss. any help would be great, thanks guys

It sounds as if something is out of whack in the carbs since you can smell fuel, maybe the float hieght or s stuck float? Sounds like it is drowning

or a stuck choke could do that as well. Make sure your choke cable is fully releasing

Yea, the choke is fine, double checked it. It would be wierd if it was flooding, because it never happens at idle, only higher RPM's, but i could be wrong. Thanks for the help guys

So I tried, and tried, and tried, and accomplished nothing. So I took it into my shop, turns out it was a damn sensor. Cold bike, good reading. Warm bike, bad reading. What a crock of ****. Thanks for the help though guys.
