for a short while running rich is easier on your engine than runniing lean. You will probably foul your spark plugs.
It sounds like you need to revisit your carbs and see if they are the problem....either that or a mouse nest in the air filters. You are running air filters aren't you?
If your cylinders were bored and honed they should have proper compression..........
Persistance usually overcomes problems. Basicly check everything, even wierd stuff. And keep track of what you checked and what the specifications and results were.

Compression is ok now i was doing my test cold and All maintenance running parts are new spark plug oil air filter chain and sprocket brake carb rebuild and engine too i am unable to drive it now i am waiting for my new chain to come in
Is your bike the automatic, if so beware getting the wrong rebuild kit for the carbs. It also sounds like bikes I have worked on where the mechanic left out parts or even left out the idle jets.....no lie I once bought a old gold wing with no idle jets and it would start and run. .....Only above 3000 RPM.
