I still think your idle jets clogged. When it's cold it runs on the choke
circuit so it probably would idle then.

Sure seems like carbs to me unless one of the heads is loose. I would check for air leaks around the top of the carb and around the manifolds. Recheck your valve clearances. Im going to do that before I ride it again. Let me know what you find out...I will do the same.
