I'm a bit late to the party here but the key here is had PAIRS and carb valve. If you have removed the PAIRS then there is a connection on the front carb on the side of the throttle cables that requires blanking off where the PAIRS connected. You will also need to reverse..flip the reed valves over inside the cam covers.

See the following thread for more info on PAIR removal:
